The plane crashed on February 1, 2008 in Mount Airy, North Carolina, killing all six on board including her husband.

Louise’s husband was Frank Ruggiero. John Rakestraw was the pilot of the aircraft, Blue Sky Airways inc , owned and operated the C90A airplane and Raker Construction company where Rakestraw was working as CEO.
