Louise “Bella” C. Kashishian

KASHISHIAN

Louise C. Manco, age 91, on August 23, 2025, of King of Prussia, PA, formerly of South Philadelphia, PA.

Louise was predeceased by her husband of almost 71 years, Peter Kashishian, Parents, Carmela (nee De Flavees) and Anthony Manco, and her loving sister, Mary Pacinelli.

Survived by her children, Robert “Bob” Kashishian (Dawn) and Diane L. Kashishian-Stefanatto (Franco). Her three grandchildren, Quinn (Breannen), Kori, and Giuliano, and her two great-grandchildren, Giovanni and Giulian.

Most important in Louise’s life was her family. Everything she did was for them. Louise and Peter enjoyed sharing their home together and raising their family. Ever since Louise was a child she was referred to as “Bella” by her Aunts. Which means “Beautiful” in Italian. When she was two years old, they entered her into a Beauty contest, and of course she won. She was introduced to Pete after her sister married his best friend. They married in 1954 & later moved to King of Prussia, PA in December of 1959. They shared a life together raising their children in the same home for over 65 years.

Louise was meticulous at whatever she did, perfection was her goal. She was often called “Michelangelo” by her family because of her slow, intentional way of doing things, even her eating. It had to be 24 chews with every bite!!

She was the PERFECT Home Maker. The house was always clean, not an item out of place. Meals were fantastic and cooked with true Italian love. Her forte was her Christmas cookies every year. She and her dear friend Mary would each bake 15-25 different types of cookies. They weren’t the easy type either. Everyone who knew she baked would dive into all the selections and appreciate the work and love that went into each one.

Louise was a wonderful Wife and Mother; she always sacrificed herself for others. She was a true Lady, styled, always wanted to look good & eat well. She taught us integrity, loyalty and never speak badly or about someone ever. Keep your mouth shut and be a good listener and friend.

Louise enjoyed in her younger years playing the Piano, playing Tennis and always went to the Gym with her friends. Louise & Pete enjoyed traveling to CA to visit family and a few extra trips to Italy, Alaska & Mexico, to name a few.

Relatives & friends are invited to her Viewing Friday, August 29th 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM followed by her Funeral Service 12:00 NOON in the Main Chapel at the D’Anjolell Memorial Home of Broomall, 2811 West Chester Pike, Broomall, PA 19008. Inurnment Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery.
