Louise Elizabeth Paré

Louise Paré went to be with the Lord on February 19th, 2026 at StoryPoint Saline under the care of Corsocare Hospice. Louise was born on November 26, 1952 to Alfred and Margaret (Hendron) Paré in Highland Park, Michigan. One of six siblings, she attended schools in Detroit and Redford. She came to the University of Michigan where she studied liberal arts. During her time at UofM she became part of the Word of God, a charismatic Christian community. This built on her foundation of an intentional life for Jesus. She built on it further by becoming a Consecrated Virgin for the Diocese of Lansing in 1992, an identity she carried for the rest of her life. Fulfilling her vocation she worked for many years at Servant Publications, supporting its authors and evangelistic efforts. She led a number of retreats at the diocesan retreat centers in DeWitt and the Irish Hills. She was a Spiritual Director, and many benefitted from her wisdom and spiritual gifts. She had a full life with wide-ranging interests. Among these were travelling [winter excursions to Siesta Key in Florida were a must]; and trips to England, France, and Italy. She was an ardent fan of the Michigan Wolverines as well as the Detroit Tigers. She used to watch Tigers games with her father anywhere they could find a big screen. She actively supported local artists and anyone selling Christmas decorations. Her annual tree trimming party was always packed. She was predeceased by her parents and brother-in-law Jim Malley and nephew Michael Malley. She is survived by her siblings Mary Alice Power (David); Suzanne Killeen (Kevin); Patricia Johnson (Mike); Mike (Ellen) Paré; Stephen Paré, and her nieces and nephews: Julie Knotek, Dan Power, Sean Killeen, Kate Goble, Chloe Harvel, and Grace Wilson. She so enjoyed her nieces and nephews and their children.
