Louise Poire

In Loving Memory of Louise Poire

November 29, 1955 – July 11, 2026

Louise Poire, a cherished daughter, gifted artist, and friend, passed away on July 11, 2026, at the age of 70 years.

Born on November 29, 1955, in Pocatello, Idaho, to her loving parents, Eugene and Blanche Poire, Louise grew up with a deep connection to her heritage. During her youth, she attended the Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon—an experience that helped shape her journey and connect her with lifelong community ties.

As a proud Native American woman, Louise was a remarkably talented artist. She poured her heart, patience, and spirit into traditional beadwork, creating beautiful, intricate designs on hides. Through her hands, a rich cultural art form was kept alive and vibrant.

Beyond her artistry, Louise possessed a quiet warmth and a restless, adventurous spirit. She loved the simple peace of taking long walks, appreciating the beauty of the world around her, and was always ready for the next travel adventure.

To know Louise was to enjoy her company. She had a gentle nature that drew people in, and she was deeply liked by all who crossed her path. She truly enjoyed being surrounded by her friends, sharing laughter, stories, and quiet moments alike. Louise’s warmth, creativity, and kind soul will be deeply missed by her family, her friends, and the community she touched.

No services will be held at this time.
