Crowe – Louise Beatrice, 75, of Milton, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Wednesday, February 26th, 2020.
Born in St. Jerome, Quebec, she was a daughter of the late Richard and Rita (Sephton) Ouellette.
Louise and her family moved from Mount Laurier, Quebec to Vancouver and then to Calgary, where she spent most of her youth. She met her husband Tim on New Years Eve, at her mothers house in Vernon, B.C., in 1981. They quickly fell in love and were married in 1982 and moved to Nova Scotia in 1983. Louise and Tim agreed that she would stay home to bring up the family while also supporting Tim in his work efforts, encouraging him to continue his education to further his career. She was a hard worker and was always on the go as she and Tim lived a very spontaneous lifestyle. Louise and Tim enjoyed going camping, but she was always happy to return to her home. She had many hobbies, some of which were painting, tole painting and planting flowers (perennials). Over the last little while she enjoyed feeding the crow’s in the back yard, especially her favorite “Koko” who she adopted as a pet. Above all else, Louise was most passionate about her family and spending time with them, especially her grandchildren.
Louise is survived by her loving husband, Tim; daughter Christie Crowe, of Windsor, N.S.; son, Ben (Carla) Crowe, of Calgary, Alberta; grandchildren, Breanna, Brady and Ronan; brothers Mike Ouellette, of Nanton, Alberta, Richard (Carol) Ouellette, of Osoyoos, British Columbia, Billy Gill, of Val-des Bois, Quebec, Hal (Annie) Gill, of Tres St. Redempteur, Quebec.
She was predeceased by a sister, Linda Bryant; brothers, Ben Ouellette, Bobby Gill and Johnny Gill; step father, Walter Gill.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A celebration of Louise’s life will be held on Thursday March, 5th, 2020, from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m.,with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m. in Chandlers’ Funeral Chapel, Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Inurnment will take place at a later date at Lakeview Memorial Gardens, in Kelowna, B.C.. No flowers by request, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Tim and Family
We are so sorry to hear about Louise’s passing. We look back on the Christmas visit’s over the years with the special surprises for Louise. Alice and I looked forward to her talks and stories she shared . Tim I think of you as a great friend, an older brother and not as my supervisor. We want you to know that we are here for you. Hold on to the many memories you and Louise have shared together. Ben and Christie we send our condolences to you both.in this time of sorrow. I want to share something with you all.
Why? That’s what we ask. The truth is, we may never know for sure why. But, we do know that there is no single…..should have done or could have done or did or didn’t do…..that would have changed that why….all that love could do was done.

Heather Christian
Dear Tim, Christie, Ben, Breanna, Brady and Ronan,
Louise may be gone but she will never be forgotten. Although I did not know Louise for many years, we became family and spent many joyous times together. She was a woman who knew what she liked and spoke her mind in a kind and gentle way. She loved to tell stories about the many happy times she and Tim had together and funny stories about when her children were little. She and I had a special bond in that we were Nanny and Nana to Christie’s children which made the two of us very happy! I will never forget her caring smile and her lovely embrace whenever we saw one another or were leaving one another’s company. May the wonderful memories of time with her sustain you through your time of grief. My deepest sympathies. Heather

Dave and Liz Marryatt
Tim and Family:
From the first time we met you and Louise as our new cottage neighbors we knew you would eventually become part of our family. Tim your always full of fun and Louise was always up for whatever new adventure you had come up with from four wheeling…camping……long haul driving.. road trips….career changes…creating your own roads with big equipment. Always up for the challenge. When Louise was sick you even made road trips to Hfx enjoyable for her. She knew she had a wonderful life and she never knew what idea was coming next. You made her life as easy as possible and I believe she knew and appreciated that.
We will surely miss her. We feel very lucky to have been part of her life.
Our hearts go out to your entire family. Hopefully all the wonderful memories you made will help get you through this very difficult time. Hugs from all of us. We love you all very much.
Dave and Liz…Tracy and Glenn…..Kim, Adam and Owen.
