On May 1, 2014, Louise Tchekou, our beloved night
custodian at Tahoma Senior High School
passed away in her sleep. She had been
with the district since December 12, 2005. She was loved by all and an
inspiration to many.
Louise always had a kind word, a positive
view and a spiritual outlook to everything she did. People were drawn to her
happy disposition and her willingness to share. Her concern for others and her
desire to help were her trademark.
Louise’s profile was featured in the Custodial/Maintenance newsletter in the April, 2007 issue. (Volume 5, Issue 10) Having
come from West Africa, Louise was fluent in several languages and dialects. She
has family that live in the Maple Valley area as well as family on the east
coast and in West Africa.
Louise cooked great food, sent unclaimed lost
and found items to Africa to help those in need and always treated everyone as
her family.
We will miss Louise every day but we are left
with a wonderful memory of an inspirational and fantastic lady!
