Her family immigrated to Canada in 1927 and settled in Grande Pointe. Marie Louise grew up in a hardworking family and passed that hard determined work ethic on to all her family. Gran had a strong faith, she was a member of St.Paul's Roman Catholic Church and the C.W.L. Beloved wife of the late Oscar Vanroboys (2012). Loving mother of the late Henry and his wife Anne Vanroboys (2013). Marie Louise "Grandma Van" was a caring and special Grandmother to Carla and Kevin Fox, Steve and Gina Vanroboys and Jennifer and Joe Marsh. Loving great grandmother to Megan Butler (Zach), Dane Fox (Bree), Trent Fox (Maddie), Lucas and Audra Vanroboys, and Oscar, Lucy, Libby, Boone, and Scout Marsh. Proud Great Great Grandmother of Mila, Maeve, Cal, Huxley and Haddie, and a baby grandson on the way!

Predeceased by her sister Georgina Kestelyn (Gerard) and a brother Romain Casier (Madeline), Marie Louise took pride in everything she did. This was evident in the life she created, her home, and gardens. Family meant the world to Grandma Van. Her legacy of love, family hard work will live on. Grandma left an impression on everyone she met, and touched countless lives. Even in her final days she showed strength, grace, dignity, perseverance and gratitude to others. She was an inspiration with her positive attitude and the gift of joy! As she would say on a daily basis "it's all good."
