While keeping busy in her retirement years, she worked as teacher’s assistant at Academie Catholic Ange-Gabriel, volunteered at the Brockville Arts centre, and also dressed in time period character while volunteering at the Fulford place museum. In addition to her volunteer work, Louise had a thirst for travel and kept busy with excursions exploring Canada and the States. Her family always looked forward to her witty commentary, photos, and updates from her travels.

Louise had an easy-going nature and could easily light up a room with her laughter, center loved ones and friends with her common sense advice, and would always tell it “like it is” with her steadfast and practical outlook on life. Her wit, sense of humor, enduring optimism, and loving nature will be missed by her friends and family.
