An angel of substance passed away at the P.R.H.C., following a courageous battle with cancer on Sunday, June 22, 2008. Louann (Beattie) of Ennismore in her 57th year. Beloved wife of 36 years to Graham Perkins. Mom will be dearly missed by Hayley Van Loosen (Darryl) of Barrie, Justin (Robin) and Kenny all of Ennismore. Cherished Nanny to Mason. Always loved by her sister Louise Stewart (Ron), brother Thom Beattie (Catherine) and by her brother-in-law Bryan Perkins. Louann will be immensely missed and always held close to the heart of her 'Mom' Lucy Perkins. Louann's family and friends have fond memories of visiting her garden, her spending time on the boat with her hubby and family and playing cards with the girls. Her last days were spent watching her granddaughter Mason dancing in the livingroom as well as reminiscing about the old days with her daughter Hayley and sister Louise. Her family is at peace knowing that she has reunited with family and Sarge in heaven. We pray for peace in her heart and in the hearts of all who have had the honour of knowing and loving her.
