GLENN (Paul) Louise Gertrude age 71 of Goderich Ontario passed away peacefully with her husband Bob at her side on June 2nd 2020 in Maitland Manor. Louise was born on August 16th 1948 in London Ontario, the daughter of Fred and Elvra (Kerrigan) Paul and predeceased by her sister Beverly Delbridge.
Louise graduated from St Thomas Nursing School in 1970 and worked at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital. It was while in training she met her love Robert “Bob” Glenn and together they were in their 49th year of marriage.
Louise was very proud of her two daughters Michelle Smith (Glenn) married to Steve Smith and Krista Kuehnbaum (Glenn) along with her four grandchildren Caleb and Madison Smith, Hana and Makaela Kuehnbaum. Also including her niece Anne Gallant (Delbridge) and loving members of her family and extended Glenn family.
Throughout her life she had fond memories of Red Hats, laughs and social adventures with Beta Sigma Phi, travelling with family and a member of St. Georges Anglican Church Choir of Goderich. Arrangements have been entrusted to McCallum and Palla Funeral Home in Goderich. There will be a private family graveside service at Maitland Cemetery followed by a remembrance at a later date.
The family would like to offer a very special thank-you for their excellent and compassionate care at Maitland Manor these last few months and prior at Goderich Place. In lieu of flowers donations to Maitland Manor Residence Council, Goderich Place or St Georges Anglican Church would be gratefully acknowledged and may be arranged through the funeral home (519) 524-7345.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; the angel said my place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heavens gate, I felt so much at home, for God looked down and smiled at me, And told me “Welcome Home” So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

I was so sorry to hear about Louise’s passing. We worked together for many years at AM& GH, and always enjoyed our chats about life, family and the latest news. Louise was a caring and dedicated nurse, and always did her very best for her patients. She was very proud of Michelle and Krista, and we shared our stories of what our kids were doing as they all grew up. I know that she has had health issues over the past while, and know that she will be at peace now. Our sincere condolences to Bob and family as you mourn your loss. Sincerely, Suzanne and Bill.
