She was born in Damariscotta, ME, on June 13, 1940, a daughter of the late Roy and Marie (Hall) Paradis. She grew up in the Whitefield area and attended Whitefield Elementary School, Richmond High School and Erskine Academy.
On February 15, 1957, she married the love of her life, Gordon D. Curtis and they started a family together. Louise loved spending time with her family. It was one of her cherished passions. She also enjoyed her work in the medical field and provided service for over 30 years as a medical assistant. Some of Louise’s other enjoyments were pressing flowers, gardening, spending time at the family camp in Leeds and snowmobiling.
She was a member of the Pejepscot Sno-Chiefs and the Lisbon High School Booster Club. An outstanding achievement that Louise accomplished was that for the past 20 years she has made over twenty thousand doughnuts for World’s Greatest Sleigh Rides which benefits the Pine Tree Society for Handicapped Children & Adults.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Gordon D. Curtis of Lisbon Falls; her children, Layne and his wife Phyllis of Leeds, Deanna “Dee” Langley and her former spouse Ed of Scarborough, Sandra “Sandi” Dupre and her husband David of Greer, SC, and Steven and his wife Lisa of Lisbon Falls. She also leaves behind her three brothers and sister: Mitchell Hall and wife Dianne of Richmond, ME, Roger, Richard, and Gloria Paradis of Alabama, and David Bibber of Texas as well as 15 grandchildren, 10 greatgrandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was predeceased by her son Kevin in 2007 and her stepfather William J. Bartlett.
