Louise Bernadette Cole was born on July 17, 2016.  A sweet, gentle and precious child. On December 27, 2016, 5-month-old Louise passed away due to Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID). She is greatly missed by her brother, sister, and parents. They have decided to create a foundation, in her name, to give scholarships to her brother and sister's parochial school and help other educationally related causes close to their hearts.

The Louise Bernadette Cole Foundation's mission is to provide a faith-centered educational experience to children who embody some or all of the traits that she had: joy, peace, happiness, all with a smile. Louise's legacy will live on, through these students, who receive a gift given by her.

Illinois Prairie Community Foundation serves as fiscal sponsor of the Louise Bernadette Cole Foundation. You may make an online donation to the Louise Bernadette Cole Foundation, or get information on making a donation in another manner by clicking here.
