| Background: | The Hessian family was originally from Georgetown. Louise's father, James Hessian, an engineer for CN Railways, was killed in the 1932 Tignish train wreck, now noted by a historical plaque on the Confederation Trail. Her mother, the former Eda Prowse, believed strongly in education and moved the family of four children to Charlottetown after James passed away to take advantage of better schools. All four children, including Louise, attended St. Dunstan's University (SDU). Louise earned a diploma in special education, spent 44 years teaching in the Charlottetown school system and spent time teaching abroad which she enjoyed immensely. Louise was also one of the consistent family members who represented Hessian and Quinn families at the annual Faculty Recognition Night where the Hessian Awards, established by her nephew Kevin, are presented. In the past several years, Louise has spent her days at Geneva Villa. She has been an avid bridge player and enjoyed visits from family and friends. She has established this scholarship in her lifetime to benefit incoming 秀色短视频 students. |
