In her late teen years, she moved to Jenner, AB. to help her sister with a new baby. It was there she met her future husband Tom and they were married April 15, 1951 following a huge snowstorm. They farmed, ranched and raised their family in the Patricia area. Tom and Louise had 6 children. Louise was very active with her children’s, and grandchildren’s activities.
