Canaan – Louise V. (Pelletier) Savoy, 87, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, with her loving family by her side.

Louise was born on January 1, 1939, in Waltham, Massachusetts, daughter to Eleanor (Pruneau) and Jules Pelletier. She was raised in Waltham, where she attended St. Mary’s Catholic School and later graduated from Waltham High School.

Louise devoted many years to raising her family as a homemaker before returning to the workforce as an accountant. She worked for Seiler’s Food Corporation of Waltham and Tobin Food Enterprises of Maynard, Massachusetts, until her retirement in 1996. Following retirement, she permanently relocated to Canaan, Maine. In her later years, Louise hosted a radio show on Hooscow Radio in Skowhegan, Maine, known as “The French Hour” or “Just Beyond the Moon.” Using her French-speaking skills, she introduced listeners to music and song history, hosting more than seventy memorable broadcasts.
