Louise P. Foxwell

Louise P. Foxwell, 92, of Laurel, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at her daughter’s home, surrounded by her loving family. Louise was born July 23, 1931, in Delmar, Delaware, a daughter of the late George H. Phippin and Edith Catherine (Littleton) Phippin. She graduated from Delmar High School with the class of ’49 and was active with the Delmar Alumni Association. In her early days she worked as a bookkeeper for Severance Service Company, and she also helped raise chickens on the family farm. Louise was a long time, active member of All Saints Episcopal Church. Sewing, quilting, and embroidering were just a few of her many talents. Her handmade quilts were made with love and each child, grandchild, great-grandchild and even great-great grandchild has one to remember her by. She also made many quilts for newborns at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. Louise’s greatest accomplishment was raising her family and being the most loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother.
