We thought that you would live forever, even though we knew you couldn’t. But no matter what, you left this world a better place because you used the gifts that God gave you: your sense of humour; your warm embrace; your love of friends & family; your generosity; your fight for fairness; your style; your perseverance. You were as good a woman as God ever created and all who knew you were blessed.
Friends are invited to join the family for a Memorial Mass on Friday, October 25, 2024 at St. Ann’s Church, 28 Robert Street, Penetanguishene, starting at two o’clock. A reception will be held in the Church Hall following the service. All are welcomed. A private family burial will take place at St. Ann’s Cemetery where she will be reunited with her beloved husband. In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in honour of Louise, who always cared for the less fortunate.
