While residing in Plainville, Mrs. Carvalho was a communicant of St. Martha Catholic Church.
She developed an early love for animals having cared for helpless injured animals and nursing them back to health since childhood.
Louise loved to dance, particularly during the swing era.  When her daughter was young, she served as a Girl Scout Leader.
