Louise Anne Putney Remington, 78, lost her fight with cancer on October 17, 2013, and passed peacefully in Burleson, Texas.

Louise was born in Franklin on February 2, 1935, to Charles Putney and Elizabeth McNutt. She married the love of her life, Frank H. Remington, on November 30, 1957.

She was a devoted mother of five and a dedicated teacher for 26 years in Topsham, Maine. Louise was a major supporter and rock to her military husband, who served in the United States Air Force for 20 years.
