Louise A. Richir

The family of Louise A. (Penhollow) Richir, 83, of Brocton is deeply saddened to announce her passing on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at home, where she wanted to be. She was born at home in Stockton on August 16, 1942 to Chris and Claire Christensen.

She worked many years as a waitress in the area. She loved riding her Harley, traveling and spending time with her family. Louise also loved going on rides in the fall to see the autumn leaves and sitting on her porch on a warm summer night.

She is survived by her daughter, Michelle Penhollow-McDonald (Bill) of Virginia Beach, VA; her son, William Penhollow of Brocton; her adopted children, Theresa Bigelow of Portland and Frank Cole of Brocton; and her sister, Florence Miller (Joe) of Corry, PA. Louise was preceded in death by her parents; her late husband, Glenn Penhollow; two sisters; and by the love of her life, her dog, Rosie (just days before), which never left her side.

A Celebration of Life will be announced by her family at a later date.

Arrangements are entrusted by the Morse Funeral Home, 19 East Main Street in Brocton. Online condolences may be made at www.morsefh.com.
