September 12, 1947 – February 20, 2022
Louisa passed away suddenly on the morning of Sunday, February 20, 2022, in the comfort of her home. Louisa, predeceased four months ago by her mother, Tena Head, is survived by her loving husband, Major Max Frampton; father, Major Bill Head; Aunt Lyda ‘Sis’ Hollahan; children and stepchildren, Lisa (Don) Smith, Greg (Beverley) Burton, Leslie (Steve) Wiseman, Sheldon Frampton, Michelle (Weldon) Flynn and Shannon Frampton; siblings, Lori (Dez) McCarthy, and Jim (Lorena) Head; in-laws, Theresa Frampton, Beatrice Butler, Susie (Kirby) Butler, Violet Maye, Ethel (Raymond) Butcher, Marie (Terry) Downer, Sydney (Marilyn) Frampton, Jack (Amelia) Frampton, Melvin (Irene) Frampton, and William Frampton. “Grandma” is survived by her precious and adored 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Louisa was born to Bill and Tena Head in Sydney. When she was 12 years old, her parents became Salvation Army officers, affording them the opportunity to live in different places. As a teenager, Louisa’s family was living in Springhill. There she met and later married her first husband, Gary Burton in 1966. Gary and Louisa eventually settled in Dartmouth, where they had their 3 children. While raising her children, Louisa made her living by being a caregiver to a multitude of children over the span of two decades. “Mrs. Burton” was the well-known babysitter, giving new meaning to the role of ‘Block Parent’.
Once her children were grown and married, Louisa began a new chapter in life by moving to Saint John, NB, to work with the Salvation Army Family Services. While there, she continued her legacy as a joyful servant for over a decade. In 2008, she married Major Max Frampton and moved to Mount Pearl, NL where they spent the formative years of their marriage.
Her life that began in Sydney brought her full circle back to Sydney in 2012 when Max and Louisa embraced a new chapter in life by becoming caregivers to her aging parents, serving with love until her final breath. As a devout follower of Jesus, Louisa actively and effortlessly, lived out her faith. She was known for encouraging, including, and positively impacting the lives of all who knew her. Her smile and laughter will be etched on our hearts forever. Well done, good and faithful servant!

Growing up on centre street was fun. Mrs,B, as we called her always looked out for us keeping us from getting into too much trouble, play in and around the house year round, and always had cookies. As we grew up and got married started lives of our own we kept her words of wisdom close to heart. She was a compassionate, faithful woman. She will be greatly missed.

I was blessed to have met Louisa when we both resided in Saint John, NB. Her friendship, encouragement, joyful spirit, ready smile and wonderful sense of humor added to the joy of knowing her.
My heart was saddened when I heard of her passing but know with certainty Louisa is absent from us but present with her Lord.
A life well lived in her expression of her relationship with her Lord Jesus.
Louisa left her mark on every life she touched in her years.
Max and family, be assured of my prayers.

My daughter Colleen was one of the many fortunate children taken under Louisa’s wing. For six years, Louisa allowed me, a single mother, to go to work each day never having to worry about my daughter’s well-being, and for that I am eternally grateful. She was a remarkable woman, and I’m glad I got to know her and her children. My sincere condolences to you Lisa, and Leslie and Greg.

Love and Prayers. Majors Carson and Audrey Durdle
To the family of Louisa:
Louisa was a dear friend to our family when we were attending the Salvation Army Corps in Springhill during the 1960s. She was a cheerful witness to the Army and a devout Christian. From reading some of the other condolences here, it is clear that her entire life of service continued these commitments. While it is sad to hear of her death, we are sure that she is reaping all the rewards promised by Jesus, and that sadness will fade through God’s strength and love.
To each of Louisa’s family member, may God continue to give you strength.
The Browns (Allan, Paul and Ernie)
