It is with great sadness that we share the news of our unstoppable mother, Madeline Drouillard, who was married to Norman Arthur for 47 years. She passed away peacefully last week at the age of 95. Her incredible kindness, strength, and spirited determination left a lasting impact on everyone who had the honor of knowing her.
She was the daughter of Patrick Pare and Rosalie (nee Ranger), and is survived by her sister, Angeline Pare. She was predeceased by six siblings.
Madeline was a mother to Catherine Milligan (late Edward), Gary and Pamela Drouillard, Karen Howard (late Tony), Jackie and Mark Fuerth, Michele Dionne (Pascal), Rick and Leslie Drouillard. She adored being a Meme to 11 Grandchildren and 18 Great Grandchildren.
A graduate of Hotel Dieu Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1951, she went on to become a Nurse Anesthetist in 1964. Madeline dedicated herself to various charities and service organizations like Alhambra, Knights of Columbus, and Iris House. She loved gardening, bowling, and golfing, staying active until the very end.
We will always cherish the countless memories, invaluable lessons, and stories she shared with us. While we grieve her physical absence, our hearts are filled with warmth every time we remember her favorite sayings and those special anecdotes that made her one-of-a-kind.
