In the early morning of July 4th, 2020, our mother passed away just two weeks before her 103rd birthday at Douglas Campbell Lodge in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
Louise was predeceased by her husband Patrick; infant son Alexander; daughter Margot de Vries; parents Alexander and Matilda Lavallée (nee Vhal); brother Lawrence; sister-in-law Simone; sister Rita Elliot; brother-in-law Norman, brother-in-law Glen Harper and son-in-law Evan Jones.
She leaves to mourn her three daughters, Patricia Schwitek (Harold), Lynda Jones, and Deborah Lane; twelve grandchildren and their families, and sister Mona Harper.
Louise taught school throughout her working career predominantly in Manitoba, with one exception, Winfield, B.C. for a brief period.
Due to the pandemic restrictions, the family regrets attendance at funeral is by invitation only.
Donations in her memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
