Louise Ezersky

Louise Ezersky 1/15/2022

Louise Ezersky, 92, was peacefully taken into the hands of God while in the presence of her son, Mark, and daughter-in-law, Susan.
Born Louise Philback to her father, Rudolf, and Mother, Mary (Shipskey). Louise along with her sister, Marguerite, became very responsible young adults working in the Carbondale A&P and giving almost all of their paychecks to support their mother and other siblings, Lorraine, Rudy, and a young Carol after and early passing of their father.

She would go on to marry her husband, Michael Ezersky, and having her first of 3 children, Michael. They moved to Clifton, NJ, but apartment living was not for them and they purchased their house in Wayne, where their children Ellen and Mark were born. Louise made the house a home and to this day is remembered by her nieces and nephews on how she made everyone feel special during her Easter parties with her great cooking and summer day trips to the Jersey shore, packing sandwiches for just a simple fun day.

When construction work got slow in the 70’s, she told her husband, Michael, she was going to get a job at Shoprite. She worked there for over 20 years and loved every moment of it. People would wait in her line just to say hello. She always said how well the Inserra family treated her and truly appreciated her job.

Louise was a very strong woman, losing her husband in 1982, and continuing to raise 3 teenagers on her own. She later would face more hardship losing her daughter, Ellen, and first child, Michael. She kept going.

She was proud of and loved her home and always said what great neighbors she had. The Happe family shoveled her snow before they did their own and were a phone call away when her TV or Notebook would not work. Sunday visits from her cousins, the Lutchko’s and the Philback’s, along with cards and gifts from her nieces and nephew, Sharon, Theresa, and Steven, were so much appreciated.
Louise was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church.  She could always be seen with her friends at the Saturday night mass, last row on the right, engaging in lots of talking but never enough to be thrown out.

Louise was a member of the Golden Agers in Wayne and missed her Thursday meetings and friends, especially the trips to Atlantic City where she loved playing the slots.

She decided it was time to let someone else enjoy her home and moved in with her son and daughter-in-law in Jacksonville, Florida, where she was welcome and given exceptional care as her dementia progressed that very few daughter-in-laws would have given.
She is survived by her son, Mark, and daughter-in-law, Susan, her sister, Carol, her grandchildren, Nicole and Danielle, and great granddaughters, Ella, Maddie, and Hallie.

As Louise requested, her ashes will be blessed in the back row of the church, where she always sat. In May, she will be buried at the Mother of Sorrows cemetery in Carbondale, PA next to her husband and son, Michael.
