We Remember

MACLEOD, Louise Linda

March 30, 1967 — April 4, 2026

They say life is measured not by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. By that measure, Louise Linda MacLeod lived enormously – because she took the road less travelled, and cranked the music the whole way. Born on March 30, 1967, in Edmonton, AB, Louise MacLeod passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 4, 2026, in Kelowna, BC, at the age of 59.

Her energy was extravagant, her spirit boundless. Louise lived with her whole heart. Passionate, generous, and fiercely devoted to the people she loved, she was the kind of person you wanted at every party, every hard moment, and every average day.

Growing up in Blackfalds, AB, the Queen of Blackfalds twirled her batons with abandon and lived loud from the start. Then came the Coca-Cola guy – dropping off product at the Red Deer coffee shop where Louise worked – and nothing was ever quite the same. Dennis never stood a chance. Louise became a social worker and brought that same energy to her community, supporting those who needed her most. They settled in Lacombe, AB, where they raised their two children, Brittany and Andrew. As a stay-at-home mom, Louise was all in! Life was all hockey tournaments, school events, and birthdays.

Dennis had a business opportunity creating a move to BC, but Louise was not about to budge… unless there was a boat. For a boat, she would move to Kelowna. Needless to say, the music was cranked on the water as much as it was in the Jeep. She could be spotted around town in her Jeep, painted her favourite colour – Tiffany Blue – of course.

Kelowna proved to be the perfect place for Louise’s love of roses to bloom, and six years ago she channelled that passion into Funky Petals Flower Shop, a business as vibrant and welcoming as the woman behind it.

Her spirit will be forever carried on by those she leaves behind: her beloved husband of 35 years, Dennis; her children, Andrew (Richelle) and Brittany (Deryk); her granddaughter, Lacey; her dad, Hubert; her brother, Joseph (Christine); and her beloved grand-dog Chester, the “bester of all dogs”.

Waiting on the other side, welcoming Louise with open arms is her mom, Donna.

  • Diane Valentini says:

    What a beautifully written memorial of Louise! As someone who has had the privilege of being in her orbit as a part time floral designer, I can attest to every word. She brought laughter, compassion, heart, energy (oh the energy) and meticulous attention to detail to everything she did. Her singular intent was to deliver her precious, valued customers the best experience possible. With her leadership and by example, she allowed each of us creative license to aspire to the same level of service. Her presence is felt everywhere, and I am better having known her.

    The loss to her family immense and I send my deepest and heartfelt condolences to each of them.

  • Vanessa Chafe says:

    Louise was such a bright light and we will miss her. We have so many fond memories of visits to Kelowna with your family and we will treasure them now.

    Dear Dennis, Brittany and Andrew.
    With Heartfelt Sympathy
    A life well lived leaves its Gentle Pattern on the hearts of all,
    and the world is a lovelier place because one person touched
    it with warmth, goodness and grace.

  • Tammy Truman says:
