F. LOUISE LOU (BRAMWELL) DAGG Mrs. Louise (Bramwell) Dagg, with family at her side, passed away on September 4, 2005, peacefully at her home of 55 years in Thunder Bay, ON. Born in Preston, Lancashire, England, in 1910 Florence Louise came to Canada in 1913 with her parents who settled in St. Vital, Winnipeg, MB. Lou's zest for living an active and gracious life was apparent from her youth, be it swimming across the rivers of Winnipeg, the road trips to Falcon Lake and beyond. Lou drove until 2004 and formerly chose not to renew her licence this past April. She was a member of the Winnipeg Canoe Club, where she met Walter Dagg in 1938. Married in St. Vital, they resided in Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg and Holland, MB. Lou was always employed in a customer service capacity from her days at Eaton's Winnipeg, where she and her future sister-in-law were known as Loulabelle and Lillabelle , to her retirement at age 83 years from the Westfort Pharmacy, (formerly the Crooks Pharmacy) of which she was an employee since 1955. She and her husband, Walter, daughter Jo-Anne and son James, moved to Thunder Bay in 1951. Lou was involved in her community and neighbourhood and dear to all who knew her. She continued to stay active past retirement with volunteer positions at the Red Cross Society and St. Paul's Anglican Church. She was constantly involved in visitation and providing transport for those who needed assistance. Lou's caring, graceful, generous spirit provided her family and friends, near and far, with support to embrace dreams, achieve goals, fulfil responsibilities and find comfort with their personal strengths. She will be missed by all who knew her and loved her. Predeceased by her parents, Fred and Kate (Wildman) Bramwell; brother Fred; husband Walter; sister Pamela Denner; and son-in-law Glenn. Surviving are son James (Jillian) of Carlisle, ON; daughter Jo-Anne Jacobson and granddaughter Gayle (Dan) Dawson of Thunder Bay; nephew Mike (Sue) Denner of Missouri; cousins, June (and family) Wildman of Winnipeg, Terry (and family) Bramwell of southern Ontario, surviving members the Dagg family throughout Canada and many dear friends.
