LOUISE H. KOHLMEIER April 21, 1916 - April 8, 2013 Peacefully on Monday, 13 days short of her 97th birthday, Mom passed away. She was a woman of unlimited energy, the matriarch of our family. In addition to raising five children, and a busy household, she always welcomed anyone into her home. Never one to be still, Nannie always had a handwork project on the go - from crocheted and knitted sweaters and afghans to seasonal handicrafts. She shared her love of music as organist for Grace Lutheran Church for many, many years. Mom leaves to mourn her passing Diane (Don), Paul (Louella), Karen (Ken), Janet (John) and Glen (Jeannet), 12 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren whose lives have been enriched by her unconditional love, faith and caring. Mom was predeceased by her husband Paul, son-in-law Don, granddaughter Kristen and great-granddaughter Sophie. We sincerely thank the staff of C-D1 at Riverview Health Centre for their exceptional care and empathy for Mom and our family. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, April 13, 2013, 2:00 p.m., in the Chapel at Riverview Health Centre, 1 Morley Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a reception to follow in the Thomas Sill room. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Riverview Health Centre.
