Louise F. Simon, of New York, New York, died on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at her home after a long illness. She was born in that city on October 9, 1950, the daughter of the late William A. Simon, Jr., and Mary Louise (Mickey) Simon, and grew up in Pelham, New York. She is survived by her brother, William A. Simon III, her sisters-in-law Lavinia Mancuso and Barbara Heaney, and her nephews and niece, William A. Simon IV, Nicholas Simon, and Sarah Simon. Her husband, John Rodriguez, and her brother, Neal E. Simon, both predeceased her. Louise was a beloved sister and aunt, a fierce champion of those she loved, a lively guest at all family parties, a true wit, and a steadfast companion to her large community of neighbors and friends. For many years, she was a New York City urban park ranger, and she loved the city and its landmarks. She faced her last illness with humor, grace, and grit.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Housing Works (housingworks.org).
