Louise A. McGreal (nee LaRuffa) was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 95 on October 26, 2022.
Louise McGreal was born March 12, 1927 in Oyster Bay, NY to Frank and Angelina LaRuffa, Italian Immigrants. Louise was the seventh of 11 children in a large but tight-knit family. After graduating high-school, she began working for the New York Telephone Company. Shortly after, she met her future husband, Tom McGreal. In 1952, they were married and settled in Yorkville. As a mother to six children, Louise discovered a passion for child-rearing and a hunger to understand their development (no one could get even the most cranky infant on a schedule with greater ease).
Louise became a Crossing Guard in the neighborhood. She was fondly remembered by the neighborhood children.
As her children got older, Louise had more time to explore her love of learning. Louise satisfied her great interest in psychology and philosophy through self-study and lively, thought provoking discussions.
Throughout her life, Louise embraced an open-house policy-she always found room for someone that needed a place to stay or a meal.
Louise loved gardening and even in the middle of N.Y.C. she created a beautiful little oasis of blooming flowers. When she retired and moved to her beloved Florida home she was able to more fully enjoy tending to her garden.
Louise is survived by four of her children: Jimmy McGreal (sp. Vickie), Frankie McGreal, Anne Marie Stillfried, Jane (sp. Brendan) Johnson; 6 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Tom McGreal and two of her children: Tommy McGreal and Angela McGreal Guidetti.
We ask all of those she loved and touched deeply to join us in celebrating her life.

Carmela was known for her warm personality, kindness, supportive nature, Italian cooking, faith, strong work ethic, and her love of the beach, where she spent time with family each summer.

Carmela found the greatest joy in her endless support for her children and family, watching her grandsons grow up, baking and cooking with them, walks on the beach, and collecting seashells. She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued. She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella.
