July 26, 1935 — June 25, 2016

Louise Clara Deleau

(nee Swanson)

With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Louise Deleau  after a long and courageous battle with COPD, on Saturday, June 25, 2016, with family at her side, at Douglas Campbell Lodge in Portage la Prairie, MB, at the age of 80 years.

Louise was predeceased by her parents Seymour Swanson (1977) and Effie Swanson (nee Nixon) (1978).

Left to treasure her memory her loving husband of 64 years Aime Wilfred Deleau of Portage la Prairie; daughter Joyce Deleau (Vince) and son Richard Deleau (Natalie); grandchildren Lise Painchaud (Stefan) of Winnipeg and David Mulaire (Carmel) of Portage la Prairie; great grandchildren Eric, Aubrey and Avery Painchaud and Fiona and Kelson Mulaire along with her very special aunt, Elva McDonald of Cartwright, MB

Louise was born in Deloraine July 26, 1935, and lived in Boissevain & Killarney before moving to McConnell where she lived and went to school.  She moved to Souris after graduating to work in the telephone office.  She met Aime in July 1952 and they married November 19, 1952.

Louise and Aime lived in Souris, Ste. Rose du Lac, Davidson SK, Morden, Roblin, Birtle, Virden and settled in Portage la Prairie in 1977 where they operated the Cinema Centre.  They spent many winters in Mesa, Arizona where they made countless friends.

She loved decorating every home she lived in; loved cooking, baking, playing the piano and knitting blankets and sweaters for her whole family.  She was so proud of us all and we are all so very proud to call her wife, mother, grama and great grama.

We are so grateful to all the great staff at the ETU at Portage General Hospital where she was for 15 months as well as the staff who made her last home at Douglas Campbell Lodge so comfortable.  She was truly blessed to have so many caring, compassionate people who cared about her.

There will be a celebration of her life on Monday, July 4, 2016 at 1:00 pm at McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel, 56 Royal Road South in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.  Interment will take place at the Columbarium at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
