(Soeur Arthur-Marie) A l'aube de l'an nouveau Soeur Flavie chaput partit vers son Seigneur, son Dieu. Le 2 janvier 2003 elle quitta cette terre où elle avait passé 91 ans de sa vie. Elle laisse dans le deuil sa communauté religieuse, les Soeurs du Sauveur à qui elle s'était donné en 1934, ses frères, soeurs, neveux et nièces qu'elle aimait beaucoup et qu'elle manquait depuis ses années de retraite à la Maison Notre-Dame, à Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. S. Flavie est née en 1911 à St. Norbert, Manitoba de Arthur Chaput et Maria Baril. Elle avait cinq frères, Norbert (Emma), Louis de Gonzague (Marie-Ange), Francois-Xavier (Élianne), Camille (Alice), Roland o.m.i. et sept soeurs, Hélène s.n.j.m., Héloïse Magnan (Marius), Thérèse s.g.m. Blandine s.d.s., Germaine, Lucie Rossier (Paul), Gabrielle Courchaine (Lévis). Étant l'ainée, elle a beaucoup aimé les siens. At the early age of five Flavie lived with her aunt Sister Marie Adrienne in St. Alphonse with the Chanoinesses des Cinq-Plaies. She then lived in Letellier with her family and attended school with the Filles de la Croix. In 1931 she obtained her teaching certificate and started her teaching career in the rural school of Montcalm in Notre Dame de Lourdes. Soeur Flavie a donné ses belles années de service à l'enseignement, surtout des petits. Pendant 40 ans elle avait à coeur de faire aimer le français. Fidèle aux directives de l'Association d'Éducation des Canadiens français du Manitoba elle a mis tout son coeur et tout son enthousiasme à l'éducation française et au parler français de centaine de bambins qu'elle a vu sur les bancs d'école. She entered the Congregation of Les Chanoinesses des Cinq-Plaies (Sisters of the Saviour) in 1934. From 1937 to 1977 she taught hundreds of little ones in the primary grades in the village schools of Saint Léon, Saint Lupicin, Haywood, Notre Dame de Lourdes and Précieux-Sang in Saint Boniface. Son amour de Jésus Sauveur à qui elle avait consacré sa vie, l'emmena aussi à une préparation soignée des classes de catéchisme qu'elle donnait aux petits enfants qu'elle initiait aux sacrements. S'étant retirée de l'enseignement, elle s'adonna pendant 15 ans à la pastorale auprès des malades et des personnes qui ne pouvaient se rendre à l'église. Beau temps mauvais temps, avec dévotion et compassion, elle apportait la communion aux malades et passait du temps à ranimer l'espérance de ceux qui vivaient dans la solitude. Soeur Flavie termina ses jours ici bas dans la prière surtout en égrenant son chapelet pour ceux et celles qu'elle n'oubliait pas. Dans la paix elle nous a quittée ayant passé en faisant le bien. In 1995 Sister Flavie moved from the city to the quietness and peace of the infirmary in Maison Notre Dame in Notre Dame de Lourdes. Surrounded by the Sisters a devoted nursing personnel she lived in peace and in a prayerful attitude. In August 2002 being in need of more nursing care she was transferred to the Foyer Notre Dame. There she ended her long and beautiful pilgrimmage of 91 yeaars in serenity and love of others and of God to whom she had consecrated her life. Funeral mass will be celebrated in the Notre Dame de Lourdes church on Tuesday, January 7, at 2:00 p.m. preceded by recitation of the Rosary at 1:30 p.m. Internment will follow in the Parish Cemetery. Father Marcel Damphousse and Father Marcel Chaput will celebrate the Eucharist. The Sisters of the Saviour, family and friends will, with sadness and love, part with Flavie to meet her again in her resurrected life. Many thanks to the nursing personnel of Maison Notre Dame, Notre Dame Hospital and Foyer Notre Dame and Father Damphousse for the spiritual assistance given to Sister Flavie in the last days of her life.
