MARTENS,
Margaret
Louise
Eleanor (née
HOUSTON)
Of Regina
With great sadness, the family wishes to announce the passing
of Louise, dear mother and grandmother on Sunday January 6, 2008
at the age of 92 years, with her grand_son at her side, after
a brief illness and her half-century-long battle with osteo-arthritis.
Her memory will linger in our hearts forever. Louise was predeceased
by her husband Ernest Allen
MARTENS in 1953 (b. family homestead,
Main
Center,
Saskatchewan,) her parents, Kate Matilda
GARDINER
in 1960 (b. family farm, Westbrook, Ontario) and Arthur Russell
HOUSTON in 1966 (b., family homestead, Starbuck, Manitoba,) her
maternal grandparents, Charlotte Eleanor
LEONARD in 1916 (b. Westbrook,
Ontario) and Jacob James
GARDINER in 1923 (b. family homestead,
Westbrook,
Ontario,) her paternal grandparents, Margaret
McBURNEY
in 1943 (b. Beverly, Ontario) and Robert
HOUSTON,
Sr. in 1934
(b. Lesmahagow, Scotland). A true Canadian with deep roots here,
Louise is a descendant of a family (Leonard/Chilton) who came
to North America in 1620 on the Mayflower, and she is also a
descendant of another family (McDonell) of United Empire Loyalists.
She is survived by her sons Geoffrey of Westport, Ontario, and
James
(Lorena
May
BLONDIN) of Regina, and her grandchildren,
Robert and Miranda. Louise was the daughter of a Canadian Pacific
Railway station-agent and was born in the station-house in Perdue,
Saskatchewan, in 1915. Her early schooling was there, and her
piano-lessons only a short ride away over the rails to Saskatoon
where she subsequently attended the University of Saskatchewan
(Home Economics), and later on, business school in London, Ontario.
With a young family to support, Louise returned to work (Government
of Saskatchewan), finally retiring in 1982. Where did the time
go? She will be remembered for her independence and her dedication
and generosity to her family, Friends and co-workers. She loved
Rachmaninoff; but despised country-music. She was her own woman
to the end. A memorial service will be held at Speers Funeral
Chapel, 2136 College Avenue, Regina, Saturday, January 12, 2008
at 1: 30 p.m.; coffee and tea to follow at the Family Centre.
