Obituary of Louise Carlson

Louise was born February 18th 1930, the youngest child of John and Amelia Noullett in Bawlf, Alberta. She passed away on December 12, 2015 at the age of 85 years. Mom grew up on the family farm north of Bawlf and attended Oak Park and Bawlf Schools. On August 31, 1963 she married Gunner Carlson. Together they raised their three children on the family farm near Bawlf. Mom loved farm life, raising chickens, milking the cow, and always had a big garden. She enjoyed curling, dancing, playing cards and spending time with family and friends. She took pride in being a good homemaker and was a hard worker, keeping the shelves and deep freeze full. She valued her friendships and made sure the coffee was always on and there was lots to eat. She was an active member of the CWL and Gladstone Good Deeders. She was devoted to her Catholic faith. In 1995 they retired and moved to Camrose. Mom continued to be active with the CWL, enjoyed travelling, and being a good grandma. Her buns were always a hit. She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years Gunner; daughters Rhonda (Norm), Tanja (Gary) and son Mark; grandchildren Ashley, Nathan, Jarret, Jayden, Lexi; sister Isabelle; and many nieces and nephews. Louise was predeceased by her parents John and Amelia; brothers Joe, Jerry, Tony, Johnny, Leo, and Ed; sister Margaret; granddaughter Jessica; and her first husband Cyril Schneider.
