Glenys Marie Arsenault
1955-2020
The family of Glenys Marie Arsenault sadly announce her
passing, at the age of 64, on February 13, 2020, at the Fredericton
Hospice.
Glenys was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on April 15, 1955.
She was the only daughter of Marie Viola DeCoste and Lawrence Robie
Manuel. She was predeceased by both parents.
After nearly 40 years of marriage she leaves behind her
loving husband Terry, daughter Kimberly (fiancé David), and
son Dennis (Jessica). As well, two older brothers, Keith Manuel
(Huguette) of Hanwell & Wayne Manuel (Paula) of Quispamsis,
along with niece Laura (Jonathan), nephews Jared and Marc, and
great-niece Josephine. She was also blessed with a caring and loving
mother-in-law, Rina Arsenault.
After attending Capital Business College Glenys worked at
CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation). She later worked for a
brief time with the Mathematics Department at UNB before taking a
permanent position with the UNB Geology Department.
Upon starting her family Glenys decided to take time from
working and raise her two children. This was one of her greatest
pleasures, to be a stay-at-home mom and watch her family grow. She
took great joy and pride in watching Kimberly develop a love of music
and attended many music recitals and performances over the years,
while Dennis excelled in sports, and numerous hours were spent
watching him compete in games and competitions. She later returned to
work at the Hallmark Card and Gift store at the Regent Mall and worked
there until its closing. During the last several years she
gave
much of her time caring for her father before his passing.
Family was most important in her life and from making birthday cakes
to holiday dinners, she cherished it all.
In recent years she turned to gardening and it became a
favourite pastime and love, planning and planting flower beds that
continued to grow over time. She loved the sunny warm spring weather –
spring could not come soon enough!
The family would like to thank all the staff at the Dr.
Everett Chalmers Hospital, ExtraMural, and all the staff at
Fredericton Hospice for the care which they provided Glenys during her
battle with cancer.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to McAdam’s Funeral Home.
There will be no visitation by request. A Memorial Mass in celebration
of Glenys’ life will take place from Holy Family Catholic
Church, 1500 Hanwell Road, on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 at 1:00 pm
with Fr. Monte Peters officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can
be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Fredericton Hospice.
