Louise Ricci Mulgrew, a longtime member and supporter of ISDA, passed away just before Christmas at the age of 81.

The news was announced on social media by her children last week: “At 5:35 on December 22nd our mother, Louise, passed away from complications due to COVID 19. She had been struggling with COVID for several days and lost the fight. Her kindness, love and patience were gifts that she shared with each of us. She loved telling stories and writing in her Blog. She just finished her 4th book of short stories about the neighborhood and family two weeks ago. So we have not heard the last of my mother just yet…All of her stories were written the old fashioned way – pen and paper.”
