Louise H. Bragg. loving mother, friend

January 24, 2023

Louise H. Bragg, 99, of Lewes, passed away Tuesday, Nov.  29, 2022, at Atlantic Shores Rehabilitation Center in Millsboro. She was born Aug. 30, 1923, in Washington, D.C., daughter of the late James A. and Louis (Pugh) Hickey. 

Louise raised two children on her own from the time they were 8 and 13. She was the best mother and friend that anyone could want.

Louise had a lifelong career as a secretary for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, retiring after many dedicated years. Following her retirement, she moved to Lewes to be closer to her son and his family. She was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts, which took her sight at age 95. She spent over three years at Atlantic Shores Rehabilitation Center.

Louise will be deeply missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.

She was preceded in death by her siblings, Elaine, Jimmy, Nancy and Joan; her daughter, Carol Ann Bragg; and daughter-in-law, Mary C. Duffy Bragg. She is survived by her son, William Bragg. William and his wife Mary had two children, Jason and Justin, and Jason and his wife Katie had two children, Will and Kelly, who are Louise's great-grandchildren.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the entire staff at the Atlantic Shores Rehabilitation & Health Center for all of the care and compassion Louise received throughout the years.

Final care for Mrs. Bragg has been entrusted to Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, Lewes.
