Obituary
On October 21, 2022, Luise Nelkenstrauss passed away peacefully at age 87 after a brief illness. Luise was the biological mother of two children. However, many people considered Luise their surrogate mother.
When Luise’s children were young, the phrase “stay-at-home-mom” didn’t exist. It was usual for women to stay home with the children while their husbands worked. But even by the standards of the era, Sarah was an exceptional wife and mother. She cared deeply for her family and neighbors. She did this not out of obligation, but because of who she was. She was always the first to offer help. She regularly brought meals to the home of sick neighbors. And she always ensured that every child who crossed her threshold was safe, healthy, and happy.
Sarah is survived by her daughter Elizabeth Scott, her son Connor James, and four grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Robert.
