SISTER LOUISE ARSENEAU, R.G.S. It is with deep sadness and also joy that we announce the sudden passing of our dear Sister Louise (Lorina) Arseneau. She has gone to be with the Lord, whom she so faithfully loved and served for so many years. Sister loved children and spent sixty years serving them. She will be fondly remembered by the many present and former students whom she has served in the Good Shepherd Centres in Halifax, Toronto, St. John, Windsor and Winnipeg. Until her sudden death, Sister Louise was active in many projects which also included visiting the sick. She especially loved to do crafts with the younger children at a Marymound Group Home. She also brought joy to many former students of Marymound who have looked upon her as "mother". She will be very much missed by the Sisters of her community, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Winnipeg, students and staff of Marymound Inc. Sister Louise was born on February 10, 1921 in Bathurst, N.B; daughter of Adelard and Elise Arseneau. Left to cherish her memory are many brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews and cousins: Emilien (Lougheed, AB), Gerard (Montreal), Elizabeth, Gilles, Leon, Rita, Deanna, Beatrice, Andrea, Marie, Louis Laurent, Simeon and Georgette, all of New Brunswick. Sister Louise was predeceased by her parents, Adelard and Elise; brother Irene and sister Therese.
