She also enjoyed crafts, and made many artistic latch-hook rugs for friends and family. Besides her loving husband Bob, Louise is survived by sons David and Stephen, mother Barbara, granddaughters Kristina, Kelsey, and Jaymie, and siblings Wayne, Sam, John, Gordon, Deborah, Susan, Mathew, Michael, Christopher, Timothy and Ben David, plus respective in-laws.
