WENNA LOUISE KRUEGER
With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Louise Krueger at Boundary Trails Health Centre.
Louise (nee Cooper) was predeceased by husband Arnold (2023), parents, Walter and Edith (nee Day), sister Doreen Dudgeon (Robert), brother Clare Cooper, brother Vernon Cooper and brother-in-law Norman Krueger (Ileen). Louise is survived by children, Donna (Dominic), Paul and Diane; four grandchildren - Christopher Young (Ellen), Jennifer Young, Tobias and Logan Hyrich-Krueger; sister Linda Nelson (Kelowna, BC), sister-in-law Ida Anderson (Conrad -deceased), sister-in-law Caroline Hunter (Carmen - deceased) and many nieces and nephews.
Louise was born February 15, 1934, in Pilot Mound, MB and was raised on the family farm in the Marringhurst District near Rock Lake. Moving to Morden after leaving Pilot Mound, Louise worked at the Royal Bank (a good spot to check out potential suitor’s bank accounts). Louise married Arnold Krueger on March 8, 1958, and resided on the family farm until 2014, when they retired, along with Diane, to a house in Morden. Louise and Diane remained in the home after Arnold passed and continued to arrange upkeep.
Louise enjoyed visiting with family and friends at home, and there was no leaving without eating. Weekly scratch lottery tickets were a staple for Louise, with a $25,000 winner as a claim to fame. In recent years, mobility was a struggle, but Louise continued organizing, expressing opinions and until her last days was managing financial matters.
As per family's wishes, there will be no formal service. Cremation has taken place with ash interment to follow at the Chapel Cemetery Columbarium, Morden, at a later date.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the doctors and staff at Boundary Trails Health Centre that cared for Louise during the challenging final weeks. Donations may be made in Louise’s memory to the BTHC Foundation.

I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Over the years I had many trips out to the farm and then later Morden with Donna. The visit always included food, sweets, laughter and a lottery ticket that was paid out by Louise if it was a winner. - Posted by: Erin Nagy (Family Friend) on: Jun 21, 2025
