LOUISE CURREY Louise passed away Thursday, July 16, 2015. Louise was born in Roblin, Manitoba and grew up in the small town of Makoroff, Manitoba. She enjoyed the companionship of her younger sister Edna and loving parents Stan and Violet Boyce. Louise fell in love with the boy next door, Merle Currey and they were married on February 22, 1951. At the time she was pursuing her teacher's diploma, where she taught young children in a rural setting close to the Boggy Creek, Manitoba She and Merle soon moved to Winnipeg and had three sons Garry, Robert, and Randy. Merle worked for the C.N.R. and was stationed to Dauphin with Louise and the three boys, soon after their daughter Deanna was born. The young family enjoyed many return trips to visit her sister Edna and family on their farm near Roblin, Manitoba. They eventually moved back to Winnipeg where they enjoyed friends and family for many years. Louise enjoyed winter cross country skiing, golfing, tobogganing, curling, dancing, music, and socializing with family and friends. Louise and Merle retired and built a home on Lake of the Woods with their son Randy and enjoyed years together on the lake. Mom enjoyed bird watching, canoeing, wildlife viewing, walks with Merle, and her close ties to the neighbours on the lake. She was especially dedicated to her Sunday church services on a tiny island close by and could not wait to have family and friends show up for weekends and summer holidays. Louise and Merle traveled each winter from Lake of the Woods to spend winters in Comox close to their daughter Deanna, and her two sons: Daniel and partner Tanya, and Graham and Chelsea with children Ilan and Oslo. Louise and Merle eventually moved to Comox, BC, full time where Louise made close friends through her neighbours and the Comox United. Louise suffered the last several years with Rheumatoid Arthritis, therefore dropping many of the activities she enjoyed however, found comfort in her faith, walks to the ocean, birds, music and always the love of close friends and family. Mom carried herself with grace and treated everyone with respect. Sadly, she was taken home to her family that left this world before her. Louise so often prayed for her family and friends to be watched over. She was happiest bringing her family together during her favourite years at her home on Rush Bay, Lake of the Woods. Long live her memory. She was a beautiful person and will be missed.
