Obituary for Louise Margaret Kindree (Hollway)
KINDREE, LOUISE MARGARET (nee Hollway) August 14, 1946 - July 21, 2022.
Louise passed away surrounded by loved ones after a short but brave battle with cancer. Louise was born in Arvida, Quebec and went on to study languages and psychology at the University of New Brunswick. She was a long-time resident of the Caledon area where she raised her daughter, Lisa. She had a passion for cooking, needlework, knitting, her grandson Brennan and volunteering. She had a long and accomplished career in Human Resources with the Meteorological Service of Canada/Environment Canada, specializing in values and ethics. After retirement, Louise was an active volunteer at Headwaters Health Care Centre both with the Auxiliary and with the Board of Directors, where she was Board Chair twice and continued her service as a community member on various committees. She was also Board Chair with Peace Ranch and most recently with Services and Housing in the Province (SHIP). Louise also led the Community Physician Recruitment Committee, helping to bring physicians to the Headwaters area. She cared deeply for the health and wellness of people in the community and enjoyed contributing and getting involved to make a lasting difference.
Louise was a proud and loving mother to Lisa Kindree, who she passed along her passion for volunteering, and to her son-in-law Mark Parekh. She was also a very proud and doting Granny to Brennan Parekh and an amazing big sister to Edith Ehrhardt, Shirley Smith and Gordon Hollway. She is predeceased by her husband Roger Kindree and her parents Dorothy and Jack Hollway.
In memory of Louise and her community volunteerism, please make donations to Headwaters Health Care Foundation or SHIP.
There will be no formal service, instead she asked that everyone who knew her celebrate her life in their own way. She will be greatly missed by friends and family.
A tree will be planted in memory of Louise in the Dods & McNair Memorial Forest at the Island Lake Conservation Area, Orangeville. 20th Annual Dedication Service will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 2:00 p.m.
