Louise Voets

Louise passed away on February 16, 2021 at the age of 71 after a long battle with cancer, with her loving daughter by her side. Louise was defined by her strength, fierce independence & utter selflessness. She loved providing care and guidance to others through her friendship and spiritual teachings. Louise had a passion for design and creativity, whether she was building guitar cases for the family business or hand making clothes and accessories to sell at Paddington markets, she was never afraid to learn a new skill. Another one of her passions was gardening. She had an incredible ability to turn any old clump of dirt into a lush veggie patch, leaving behind a trail of gardens every time she moved house. She was a lover of everything esoteric. Most of her life centred around Reiki healing, card readings & learning about Native American culture. She loved a cheeky glass of vino, a good party and will always be known as 'the cool mum' to all of her daughters friends. Anyone who's met Louise can speak to her incredible strength, not many people can recover from emergency brain surgery after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She unapologetically exceeded the expectations of her doctors and acquired the nickname "A medical miracle", a title she may very well of given herself but definitely earned. Louise was a beautiful, kind and selfless soul with a big heart bursting with love for others. The world might feel smaller without her in it, but we are all better for knowing her.
