- Louise Gerogia (Mazet) Gardner
Absarokee - Louise Georgia (Mazet) Gardner, 88, of Absarokee, passed away peacefully on Sept. 1, 2008. She was greeting at the gate of heaven after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Louise was born on Sept. 11, 1919, in Worland, Wyo., to Camille and Louise Mazet.
Louise married Gene Gardner on Sept. 28, 1941, in Casper, Wyo. They managed a feedlot in Belfry until Gene suffered a paralyzing stroke. They moved to Miles City while Gene recovered. From Miles City, Gene and Louise moved to Cody, Wyo., where Louise worked as a secretary for the National Forest Service. After her retirement, they moved to Casa Grande, Ariz. They spent the colder months in Arizona and the summers back in Absarokee. Louise was a loving and very supportive wife to Gene. She made sure he could continue to enjoy an active life following the complications of his stroke.
Louise didn't let her cancer diagnosis slow her down. She continued luncheons at the Senior Center, enjoyed traveling with friends, belonged to the Red Hats, volunteered at church, played bridge with her friends and took in every moment she had with her great grandchildren.
Louise lived life to the fullest. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a beautiful spirit. She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
Survivors include her sons, Kelly (Marge) Gardner of Miles City, Jerry (Linda) Gardner of Absarokee; sister, Jackie Mazet of Riverton, Wyo.; brother John (Violet) Mazet of Riverton; four grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Louise was preceded in death by her parents, Camille and Louise; husband, Gene; sister, Lorraine; infant brother, Jean; brothers Camille and George.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Community Congregational Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Absarokee Ambulance, Community Congregational Church or the charity of one's choice.
