Louise Popp

Louise Popp, 80, of St. Augustine, Florida passed away on October 15, 2019.  She was born and raised in New Jersey with her brother and sister.  She met and married Gerald Popp and had five children.  Louise attended secretarial school and became an expert typist.  Upon moving to Jacksonville, Florida, Louise worked as a secretary at Baptist Medical Center, soon becoming Executive Assistant to the Chief of Medical staff until her retirement.

Known affectionately as “Lulu” to her close friends and family, Louise always put the needs of others first.  A life-long Catholic, Louise volunteered at the church including bringing communion to the sick at local hospitals.  She enjoyed reading, puzzles, cross-stitch, and especially spending time with her family.  She will be remembered for being strong, witty, caring, and giving to all.
