Louise Rose DeLorenzo, 93, of North Haven, passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at the Connecticut Hospice in Branford. Louise was born in New Haven on May 8, 1927, the daughter of the late Domenic Perna and Anna Schultz. She married Peter DeLorenzo of New Haven on May 21, 1949. They had a very loving marriage until Peter’s early death on September 21, 1992. Louise’s strong nature (like her mother) and the support of her family (especially her dear sister Mary) kept her in good spirits. She loved to cook, loved cats and children, and loved Jeopardy. Mother of Robert and Peter, grandmother to Tyler and Tia, she loved her family dearly (as they loved her) and enjoyed recounting stories of her brothers and sisters from the “old days” in Fair Haven.
