Ronald E. J. Arsenault
1951-2018
It is with deep sadness that the family of Ronald Arsenault,
loving husband of 40 years of Catherine (Hawkins) Arsenault, announces
his passing which occurred on Saturday, January 13, 2018 at
Bobby’s Hospice surrounded by those he loved. Born in Saint
John on August 3, 1951, he was a son of the late Edgar J. and Julie G.
(Losier) Arsenault.
Ron was the perfect example of an honest, caring,
hard-working family man. He was a doting husband to Cathy, and a
loving father to his girls. He had a friendly, easygoing personality
and made many friends throughout his life. He was well-respected by
his former coworkers at Irving Paper, and joined several of them for
the retired men’s breakfasts that took place every third
Wednesday of the month. He had a solid work ethic, and exceptional
morals. He lived every day by the golden rule, and he and Cathy
instilled these qualities in their daughters. Ron enjoyed the
peacefulness of nature, being outside in the fresh air, and working in
the fields and woods with his tractor and truck.
In addition to his wife, Catherine, Ron will be missed by his
beloved daughters: Jill Arsenault and Michelle Arsenault (Roger
Legere); precious grandchildren, Clay, Ava, Shelby and Brittany; great
grandchildren, Jaelyn and Lexi; his siblings, Norma Frost (John),
Brenda Porter (Dale), Karen Chantler (Norman) and Keith Arsenault
(Debbie); Mother-in-law, Doreen Hawkins; his brothers and
sisters-in-law, Sherlene (Garnet), Sheila (Joe), Stuart (Geneva),
Debbie (Doug), Rick (Wendy) and Beverly (Mike); many nieces, nephews
and friends; and his cat, Molly.
Ron was predeceased by his beautiful daughter Gale Arsenault
in October, 2017; his parents; Father-in-law, Caldwell Hawkins and a
brother, Roland Arsenault.
