Obituary of Louisa Bruneau

It is with profound sadness, that we announce the passing of Louisa Bruneau (née Laventure) on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.

Louisa, was born on September 26, 1932, on the family homestead near Leoville, SK. She was raised with her 5 siblings, Hilda, Laurent, Laurette, Doris, and Denise. Sadly, Denise passed away at the age of 16. In 1944, the family moved a mile east of Leoville. This was Louisa’s home until she met the love of her life, Paul. At the age of 18, they married, and this started the journey of a blessed family of 12.

They soon settled on a farm in Leoville, where they raised their 12 children, Lucy, Andy, Albert, Doris, Louise, Diane, Norman, Laurette, Daniel, Pauline, Marcel and Gilles.

Life changed in 1994, when Paul passed suddenly. The first link in the family chain was broken. In 2015, her son Norman passed away.
