Louise Belmonte

Of Revere. A cherished soul and a beacon of warmth, passed away at the venerable age of 98. Born in the historic West End of Boston, Louise spent the majority of her remarkable life as a beloved resident of Revere.

Louise’s career spanned over four decades at Kappy’s on Route 1 in Malden, where she became a familiar and beloved figure. Her unwavering dedication to her work and the people she served was nothing short of inspirational. However, Louise’s talents extended far beyond her service at Kappy’s. In the earlier part of her career, she was a skilled seamstress for Ira Sportswear Co., notably contributing to the evolution of modern women’s swimwear.

Preceded in death by her sister Dorothy, Louise’s legacy continues through her loving sister, Jacqueline Neil, and many adoring nieces and nephews.

Louise was a shining example of selflessness and generosity. We recall the countless lives she touched with her warmth and her limitless capacity for giving. Her legacy is not one of tangible achievements, but of love, laughter, and the countless hearts she warmed. Louise’s memory will forever be a guiding light to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. If you knew Louise, you know she would appreciate a quote from Frank Sinatra, “So I leave you softly, long before you miss me. Long before your arms can beg me stay, for one more hour or one more day.”
