Louise passed away peacefully on March 10, 2025. She was born in San Giorgio della Richinvelda, Italy, on June 19, 1934, to Ottavio and Antonietta Tesan. She immigrated to Canada in 1957.
Louise was preceded in death by her husband Paolo Osualdini and her brother Italico Tesan; she is survived by her sons Danny Osualdini (May) and Maurizio Osualdini (Kathleen), grandchildren Cameron Osualdini (Amy), Brett Osualdini (Jenna), Tyler Maclennan (Chrisma) and Tori Ellenwood (Stuart), great-grandchildren Rae and Rhys Ellenwood, brother Bruno Tesan (Carol), sister Elda, sister-in-law Gina, nieces Joy (Walter and family) and Linda (Paul and family), and nephew Victor (and family).
Louise was fortunate to have been surrounded by a wonderful neighbourhood of people who she deeply appreciated and loved. Her family and friends will never forget the joy and love she brought to their lives—she could light up any room and bring warmth to those around her.
Catholic mass service will be held at the Church of the Assumption (7109 Glacier Street, Powell River) on March 22nd at 1 pm, followed by a tea service by the Catholic Women's League in St. Joseph’s Hall.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society, in honour of Luigia.
