Louise Hall Obituary
1924-2022
Louise Hall, resident of Farnham, aged 97, died peacefully in her sleep at the Residence CRP in Cowansville on February 10, 2022.
Throughout her life Louise was a devoted and inspirational educator – teacher, principal, visiting teacher with the Department of Protestant Education, and lastly, specialist in Educational Sciences with the Ministère de l'éducation.
Louise's second calling was that of volunteering. She was deeply dedicated to BMP Hospital where she volunteered for over 70 years! She also co-founded the Farnham Library over 60 years ago and in 2018 was honoured when it was officially named Bibliothèque municipale Louise-Hall.
Louise received countless awards for her contributions and excellence in the field of education as well as for her volunteering.
Swimming, tennis, badminton, and golf were sports at which Louise excelled. She imparted her love of many sports to her students (and family). The extra-curricular sports she organized and coached included golf, bowling, hockey, and track and field.
Yet another of Louise's passions was gardening. Her garden was always a point of personal pride, winning numerous accolades for both flowers and vegetables, especially pumpkins.
Louise's greatest love was always her family. Survived by her cherished sister Adelaide Lanktree, her nephew John (Theresa), great-niece Esmé (Michael), great-nephew Michael (Maram), and great-grandniece Lily.
Louise and Adelaide shared their home in Farnham for many years, regularly welcoming former students, friends and family to their haven in the Eastern Townships.
Special thanks to all the physicians, nurses, and the excellent staff at BMP, at RLS de la Pommeraie Palliative Home Care team, and most recently, at Residence Cowansville CRP.

Dear Adelaide and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Louse's passing. She was such a special person in so many ways. With her amazing energy and warmth and her caring nature, she was an inspiration to me. I will always remember her wonderful hospitality and her ability to tell spell binding stories.
I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and that I share your grief.
With love,
Anne
