Louisa Goldsbury Dulaney

June 13, 1949

Louisa Goldsbury Dulaney, a beacon of love and creativity, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2024, in her birthplace of San Antonio, Texas. Born on June 13, 1949, Louisa’s life was a tapestry of vibrant experiences, marked by her thoughtful nature and artistic spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth and generosity that touched the lives of all who knew her.

Louisa’s early years were spent in the majestic mountains of Mexico on her family’s cattle ranch, an experience that deeply influenced her appreciation for art and ignited her wanderlust. Her educational journey carried her through the hallways of

St. Mary’s Hall and Miss Porter’s School, culminating at the University of Texas, where she further cultivated her intellect and passions.

Professionally, Louisa’s career was as diverse and colorful as her interests. She navigated the world of banking and public relations with grace and determination before becoming a successful small business owner.

Her entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly as she helmed operations at

Blue Chip Cookies and Sugarbakers, leaving her unique imprint on each venture.

Louisa’s commitment to her community was unwavering. She dedicated countless hours to local organizations, including the San Antonio Conservation Society, Fenwick, Alamo Heights Garden Club, The Assembly,

San Antonio Museum of Art, The McNay, and the Botanical Center.

Her involvement was not merely as a member but as a true champion of their causes, enriching the cultural landscape of San Antonio.

An independent thinker, Louisa’s artistic flair was evident in her love of Mexican folk art, a passion that led to an impressive collection of pieces that she cherished deeply. Her love of horses transcended mere interest, as she actively supported horse rescue charities with the same fervor she brought to all her endeavors.

Louisa was a breast cancer survivor which made what was important to her so clear. Louisa’s zest for life extended to her hobbies. She was an exceptional cook, a skill often showcased in gatherings with friends and family. Gardening provided her with a canvas to express her creativity, and her travels were not just vacations but quests for knowledge and beauty. These moments were made even more special when shared with her beloved dogs, Hallipeno (Hallie) and Salsita (Sita).

Above all, Louisa was a loving mother, grandmother,
