Louise Karp Essrig

Louise (age 102) was born and raised in New Orleans at what was then called Jewish Children’s Home, a residence for Jewish children who were either orphaned or whose parents were unable to care for them.  She had been residing in Tampa until she moved to Jacksonville in 2001 to be near her daughter. She is survived by her loving and devoted daughter Adele Stewart of Jacksonville, son Paul SImon Essrig of Denver and son Matthew Lewis Essrig of Tampa.  The family wishes to acknowledge Myra Brown, Louise's long-time devoted and loyal caregiver as well as dedicated caregivers Cheryle Royal and Jacqueline Fuette, all from the Jacksonville area and who provided additional loving care in her last year of life.
