Louise Rose Ellen Johnston
24/10/1980 – 05/09/2025
Louise was the beloved daughter of Douglas (dec) and Anne Johnston.
She was the treasured sister of Emily Gurr, Christopher Johnston, Sylvia Lee and Guersende (Zonnie) Torre.
She was the cherished sister-in-law to Stephen Choi and the adored cool Aunty of Olivia, Romley, Imogen, Jayden and Amelia.
She was a niece and cousin to a large extended family and a dearly beloved friend to many.
Louise was the source of many moments of joy for all of us.
We are all feeling her loss deeply.

Louy, my beautiful friend.
You have been such an incredibly special person in my life.
Thank you for your guidance and care with the twins, but mostly your incredible love and support as a truly genuine friend.
You are one in a billion Louy.
I can hear you when I think of you and feel your tight cuddle that was so warm and embracing.
You were such an inspiration to this world and you will be so greatly missed.
I do believe the ones most sensitive to our surroundings often suffer the most from the difficulty that we may face throughout life, however we can only hope others learn from our struggles and heartbreaks.
This does not define you though.
You were and are the most incredible person and you will be loved and remembered forever.
Thank you for bringing light into this world.
I love you Louy X
Gorgeous girl, thinking of you on this day celebrating a life full of heart, compassion and generosity.
I will miss our chats, the laughs, and your kindness.
Rest well, my friend.
Thank you so much for streaming Lou’s memorial service. It was the most wonderful and memorable celebration I have ever attended.
Lou was such a special young woman.
GOD’s peace be with you all
Beautiful Lou.
I am proud to have met you.
Your giggle, smile and warmth will never be forgotten.
It was such a privilege to meet you, be able to spend time learning from you and sharing in the beautiful space you created at Stretch and Soothe.
Thank you for the magic you brought to the world Louise!
I say goodbye for now with love,awe, inspiration and gratitude in my heart ❤️
Anne & Emily,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and sorry I can’t be there with you to celebrate Lou’s life.
My memories of Lou from high school and into our twenties are coloured by her kindness. I admired her sense of adventure and commitment to helping others, no matter how remote the location.
Although it is hard to recall specific events from our time at Mater Christi all these years later, I vividly remember being on the platform at Belgrave station with Lou and completely out of the blue, she told me she just knew I would have a successful career. It was so unexpected, and something I’d never heard from anyone at that point in my life. But she said it with such conviction that it always stayed with me, even though it took years for me to truly believe her.
I wish I had been in touch with Lou in recent years so that I could have supported her in her time of need and let her know how appreciated she was.
I hope it brings you both some comfort in what must be the hardest of times to know Lou will be remembered with love by everyone that crossed her path.
Sending love and strength to you both,
Hope
My lovely Lady Lou,
I know you will never read this, but I just wish I had one more chance to give you a hug and tell you how much of a beautiful person you are.
We shared our demons and we found solace in familiarity.
I will miss you deeply, and as sad as it is,
I’m happy you found peace from D and E.
One day, we can have a big hug again.
To a beautiful lady that cared and love all her Groodles.
Lou, you were one in a million.
You will be missed by all that knew you, watched you on live stream, looking after all the little ones.
I still cannot believe you are no longer here, but you can now relax and look after and care for all our Groodles that enter the rainbow bridge.
You will be forever in my heart and thoughts… xxx
Dear Lou, your warmth and kindness touched everyone you met and your tender care to the pups made us a best friend.
We are truly grateful 🧡 may you and Grovie have snuggles together in the stars, once more.
Every so often someone enters your life who is truly a special person….Lou was one of those special people.
I hope that she knew how admired she was by all from the wonderful Groodle community that she created.
I will be forever grateful for beautiful Mia (Mavis) who sadly passed away.
Lou was so incredibly supportive through Mia’s short illness and her loss.
I will never forget her kindness and generosity.
She will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to share her love of Groodles.
My thoughts are with her family and friends at such a difficult time.
She will not be forgotten and her memories will live on.
Thankyou Lou for being you.
Louise, although I didn’t know you personally, I absolutely loved being part of your Groodle family.
Your bright bubbly personality, your enthusiasm and love for your beloved fur babies was beyond measure.
I am heartbroken that you have left this world and hope that you are flying high with all the Groodles.
You will be very sadly missed.
RIP beautiful lady xxxx
