Louise Nancy Dula, age 73, recently of Oakland Park, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on March 11, 2022 after returning to reside in Dayton, OH. She was born in Dayton to the late Alex S. and Margaret N. (Szenegeto) Dula and graduated from Belmont High School, class of 1966.

Louie retired from the US Postal Service after four decades of employment and she enjoyed baking and cooking. Always an animal lover, she especially took pleasure in ducks, cats and particularly horses; she was passionate in photographing them. Along with her parents she was preceded in death by her Aunts Betty (Ben) Zeisel, Helen (Bernie) Chandler, and uncle Joseph Szenegeto. She is survived by her brother Alex (Kim) Dula, Jr., uncles Andrew and Julius Szenegeto, her nieces and nephew Julie (Robert) Adamson, Tess Dula, Andy (Maria) Dula, cousins Jeanette (Jerry) Knazek, David (Barbara) Chandler, Ron Dula, along with a host of extended family members and dear friends.
