Louise Pantel
(nee Chabbert)
On March 7, 2002, after having been anointed, Louise Pantel, aged 91 years, passed away peacefully at Foyer Valade in Winnipeg, MB. Louise was born on September 16, 1910 at Notre-Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. She and her husband Jules resided in Notre-Dame de Lourdes and moved to Winnipeg in the early 70's where they shared many happy years of retirement.
Louise will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Lucille Benoit (Richard) and their daughter Lauranne and by her daughter-in-law Patricia Pantel and her daughters Diane Bihun (Dave) and Danielle Rondeau (Paul). She is also survived by her sisters-in-law Angele Brundige, Lucie Boisvert (Maurice), Jeanne Fouasse and Marie Comte as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Jules in August 1989, and by her dear son André in December 2000.
After her husband's death, Louise moved to 2900 Pembina Highway where she lived seven enjoyable years with family and newly acquired friends in the apartment block. Louise was a kind, patient, and affectionate person who in her quiet way loved to spend time with and experienced many pleasant moments with her children, grandchildren, and friends.
Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated by Father Raymond Brémaud on Monday, March 11 at 11:00 a.m. preceded by prayers and viewing at 10:30 AM at the Notre-Dame de Lourdes Roman Catholic Church, Notre-Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. Interment will follow in the parish cemetery.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff at Foyer Valade for their compassion during the last week of Louise's illness and for their kindness and caring throughout the last four years. Special thanks to Father Carl Tarnopolski for his support and encouragement.
