Louise relocated to Malone nearly 20 years ago after meeting Patrick and fell in love with Lake Titus which she referred to as her “happy place.” Louise was a hard working professional woman, with multiple degrees to her name. In 1994, she proudly held a position on the board of Directors of Mensa Canada and had successful careers with Wyeth Canada, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and Bombardier, and more recently, launching her professional translation business. With her wit, humor and her big heart, she has touched the lives of so many people. She will be greatly missed by her cousins, there are too many to mention, even more, she leaves an extraordinary circle of friends in Malone and Lake Titus area.
