Posted on: Thursday, August 16, 2018I was very saddened today to learn of Louise’s passing. I met Louise during my first year with the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation (COF) at the Barrie Hip Hip Hooray! event many years ago. She was so full of life and so very kind. Louise always won the prize for the most $ raised and we were very appreciative of her tireless efforts for our cause. We ceased the national administration of the Hip Hip Hooray! walk in 2008 however Louise continued to support us when we brought back Hip Hip Hooray! in a virtual format (Pedometer Challenge) in 2011. We had not had contact for several years but I’ve thought of her often. On behalf of staff and Board of Directors at the COF, please accept our sincere condolences.
Sincerely,
Patti Watkins, Administrative Coordinator, COF
