WOOSTER – Louise Byers Plusquellec, 82, of Wooster passed away on Sunday, Jan. 21, 2018, at her home, surrounded by family.
She was born Nov. 10, 1935 in Tidioute PA, the eldest of three lovely girls for E. Scott and Rhoda Skinner Byers.   After what was by all accounts a storybook upbringing in LeRoy, NY, Louise attended the College of Wooster, where she would receive her BA in 1957. As a bonus, she also met her future husband Kenneth Plusquellec at the college, who serenaded her under her window and who she would marry in August of the same year.  
After brief stints in Chicago and Spencerport, NY, the couple returned to Wooster with their two children for what would unspool as the adventure of their lives together.   Louise launched her distinguished career as an educator at this time, teaching at The College of Wooster Nursery School from 1970-1978, before working in the Wooster City Schools as a first-grade teacher from 1978-2003, primarily at Wayne Elementary.  
Louise attended St. James Episcopal Church, where she was very active as a member of the Vestry, as well as the Peace and Justice Committee, the Church Development Committee and the Saturday Community Lunch program.   She also volunteered with Bridges of Hope, Wee Care Center Board of Trustees, the AAUW Picture Ladies, Womenade and was a member of P.E.O International.
Her bright light is survived and reflected by daughter Martha (Leah Creelman) Plusquellec of Boston, son Scott Plusquellec of Seattle, grandchildren Ella, Evan and Justin Conte-Wood of Seattle and sister Mary (Earl) Walker of Auburn, CA.   Ahead of her on this journey are her parents, husband Kenneth, and sister Peggy Fanselow.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. at St. James Episcopal Church, 201 N. Market St., Wooster with the Rev. Evan Fischer officiating.
