Louise Marie-Paule Bova

CANTON, Ga. – On this day, which represents the eve of her 87th birthday, we announce with heavy hearts the passing of our wonderful mother and dear friend to so many, Louise Marie-Paule Bova (Dionne) who passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 28, 2023.

The eldest child of Elphege and Eva Dionne (Pelletier), she was a devoted wife to the late Torrie Bova Jr., a loving mother of four children, and an inspiration and source of joy to all who knew her.

Above all, being a mother was the most important thing in Louise’s life. Her love for her children was boundless and she took great pride in nurturing and guiding them to become the best versions of themselves. She was always there for them through the ups and downs, and her unwavering support and encouragement helped them to achieve dreams and better navigate life’s challenges.

In addition to her children, Louise absolutely adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought so much joy to her life. She loved them dearly and cherished every moment she spent with them. She was also very close to all of her nieces and nephews, sisters and brother, all of whom were a constant source of happiness and pride to her. Louise truly loved her family with all her heart

Louise had a unique intuition and inquisitive spirit. She was a women with diverse interests and passions including travel, entrepreneurial endeavors and even a playful curiosity to seek hidden truths and bring a whimsical enchantment to our lives through her cards. She was glamorous, sophisticated and beautiful, with a natural grace and poise that made her stand out in any room. She had a keen eye for fashion and design, with an impeccable style that was distinctively Louise.

Her friends and family describe her as kind, generous, and loving. She had a warm and welcoming spirit for all, and her smile and laughter would light up any gathering. Louise, proud to be born under the sign of Leo, was the epitome of grace and elegance; she had a way of making everyone feel special and loved.

Louise is survived by her four children, Torrie, Lynn, Mark, and Curtis; and will be deeply missed by her loving sisters Rolande Perron (Robert) Micheline Perron, Madeleine Dupree and brother, Rene Dionne; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews.

Rest in peace, Mom. We owe you the most heartfelt debt for your love, affection and guidance. Though you are gone, your lessons, hopes, dreams and legacy of strength and grace live on through your family and friends… and your loving spirit guides us still. You will forever be remembered and loved. A celebration of your life will be held with friends and family in September, when you will go to your final resting place next to your loving husband, Torrie Bova Jr.
