Louise (Riedel) Longsden, 78, of Hoosick Falls, NY, peacefully passed away on Monday, March 17, 2025 at St. Peter's Hospice Inn in Albany NY with her daughters at her side. Louise was born in 1946 in Glendale, California, the daughter of the late Martin and Metha (Read) Riedel.

Louise is survived by her three daughters: Michelle (Rick) Rowles, Jeneanne (Jad) Zoghbi, and Charise Marroquin (Bill Wood); her grandchildren: Dakota, Stacia, Sophia, Mia, Blake, and Evan; her brother: Richard (Carleen) Riedel; and her granddog: Gidget Barkdoe.
