“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.”
In loving memory of Louise Winn (nee Nowicki), June 22, 1952 – June 30, 2026.
Loving mother and grandmother (Mimi) to Shelley (Nick), Bruce (Melodie), Alexis, Luke, Arya, and Talia. Predeceased by father Louis and mother Beatrice. Survived by siblings Lorraine (Roger), Brian (Wendy), Michael (Roma), and Joanne (Perry), and many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by former spouse Clifford. She acknowledged the continued friendship with the Winn family: Charon (Eugene), Keith (Suzanne), Patricia (Gary predeceased), and Nancy (Lawrence predeceased).
Louise grew up in small town Onaping. It was a “company town” (Falconbridge). It was a simple life but a good one. Louise had a rewarding career as a Registered Nurse for 40 years. She loved spending her free time and finally her retirement at camp on Onaping Lake. She wanted her children and grandchildren to enjoy mother nature as much as she did. A private funeral and reception will be held to honour Louise’s life. Donations to NEO Kids, the Maison McCulloch Hospice, or the HSN Foundation would be appreciated.
The HCH Class of ‘72 were a close knit family of ‘nursing sisters’ ; Living in a hospital based residence sharing the difficulties, the joys of our chosen career, as well as memories since that time. It is with deep sadness that we say our farewells and send condolences to the family. RIP

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Louise for many years starting back when it was Laurentian Hospital. She was always supportive and fair and a no nonsense kind of person. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother and grandmother. I had the privilege to journey with Louise during her illness. She was courageous and faith filled. She is now at peace.

My sincere condolences to the family. I went to nursing school in Hamilton with Louise in the 70’s. She had lots of laughs everyday and will be missed.

Sorry I hear of Louise’s passing. I worked with her for many years in the OR at Laurentian ( HSN ). We worked hard, had many great times and plenty of good laughs. Louise was good nurse and working companion.

Dear Shelley & Bruce,
I’m so sorry to learn that your mom has passed – you two & your children were her loves & you made her so proud. Your mom always seemed to take everything in stride – maybe because she was such a good nurse & could handle anything. I have many happy memories of the times Bo & I spent with both your Mom & Dad. Your Mom left a large footprint on this earth & in the hearts of all who knew her. Sending you peace & blessings at this sad time.
Jill
