Louise Theresa Palmieri

Louise Theresa Palmieri July 13, 1930 – June 12, 2025 Louise Theresa (Beck) Palmieri passed away peacefully on June 12, 2025, surrounded by the love of the family she cherished. Born on July 13, 1930, in New York City to William Beck and Eleanor (Raynor) Beck, Louise was a true New Yorker at heart. She grew up on Long Island alongside her beloved sister, Jackie, and brother, Robert, spending summers on Sound Beach, nurturing lifelong bonds and growing a fierce love for her roots. After graduating from Julia Richmond High School, Louise launched a career in Manhattan’s textile and furnishings industry. She began in the fabrics department at The Feldman Company and later became floor manager of the Simmons Company showroom at 1 Park Avenue—roles she held with great pride and professionalism. Louise met her soulmate, Dante Palmieri, at a hometown party on Long Island, and they were inseparable ever since. Their whirlwind engagement led to a January 31, 1959 wedding, followed by a month‑long European honeymoon full of adventure. Dante’s career as a pilot at Pan American World Airways led to many travels throughout their marriage. Together they settled in South Huntington, NY, where they raised two daughters and made their house a welcoming home for more than 60 years. Faith and service guided Louise’s life. At Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, she taught Sunday School, ran the nursery program, and was active in the handicraft group, where she met her lifelong friends. She poured her creative talents into ceramic painting, gardening, cooking, and baking—especially at the family’s cherished summer home in Maine, where countless memories were made by the lake. Louise is survived by her devoted husband of 66 years, Dante Palmieri; daughters Donna (Mark) Palzer and Cathy (Ray) Soya; grandchildren Stephanie, Daniel, William, Theresa (Edric), Erica, and Trey; and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends. Louise’s legacy lives on in the family gatherings and reunions she made magical; the many plants she coaxed into bloom; and the faith she practiced with quiet strength.
