Louise Elaine Roche, age 83, passed away peacefully on the morning of January 1, 2026, at home, surrounded by her loving family. Louise was born on October 20, 1942, to Joseph and Sarah Roche, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her siblings Ronald, Alona, and Regina, and by Nicoletto Bolzan, the father of her son, who passed away in 1972.

She is survived by her beloved son, Nicoletto Bolzan-Roche, and his loving, selfless wife, Charlene; her cherished granddaughter Angelia Gill and her husband Sean; her treasured great-grandchildren August and Scarlett; her bonus grandchildren, Rachel and DJ, whom she loved as her own; as well as multiple nieces and nephews and other extended bonus family members, including Cathy Watson, whose close companionship and devoted presence brought Louise comfort in her final season.

Louise will be remembered as a devoted, gentle, and deeply faithful woman. She was most proud of dedicating her life to her God as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, faithfully serving in the ministry, studying her Bible, and attending congregation meetings whenever possible. She also enjoyed caring for her plants, watching birds—especially hummingbirds—and playing games with family.

Memorial services will be held on January 31, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 39099 Chestnut Ridge Road, Elyria, Ohio 44035.
