Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCECILE MATHILDA ARNAL
It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our treasured mother, memère grand-memère and arrière grand memère.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Roland in 2005. She will be lovingly remembered by her five children, Gisèle (Roland) Laurin, Larry (Marshia) Arnal, Doris (Andre) Huyghe, Colette (Brian) Desorcy, Lyn (Paul) Arbez. Also left to cherish her memory are her 14 grandchildren, Marc (Shauna), Garry (Jennifer), Joanne (Shane), Dean (Basia), Ron (Jen), Michelle (Shawn), Gary (Vicki), Colleen (Meghdad), Christine (Miles), Nerissa (Curtis), Nicole (Michael), Kevin (Amber), Philip (Courtney), Leanne (Jonathan), as well as 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She will also be missed by her sisters, Marie Duclos, Claudette Bisson, and her brother Pierre (Rita) Verrier.
Mom was born and raised in La Broquerie along with nine sisters and five brothers. She married Dad and then was devoted to farm life. She was a remarkably energetic and strong woman as was evident in raising their five children on the family farm. She enjoyed gardening, sewing and many crafts. She maintained a meticulous house and was an even better cook and baker, her specialty being her famous date squares and homemade soup. She once was dubbed "The Soup Angel" in her condo. Mom enjoyed many trips with Dad in Canada and the US. She looked forward to prepping her coffee and goodies for our Sunday afternoon family get together. We will always hold those fond memories.
The family would like to thank the First Responders and the compassion shown by the care team at the St. Boniface Hospital.
Cremation has taken place.
A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at the Coutu Funeral Home, 680 Archibald Street, Winnipeg, MB.

Chers Gisèle, Laurin, Doris, Colette et Lyn, Je viens vous offrir mes plus sincères condoléances. Votre maman était pour moi une personne exceptionnelle, avec son sourire et sa joie de vivre, jumelée à sa vivacité d’esprit et sa grande mémoire. Dans les dernières années, une visite chez elle était un incontournable pour moi lorsque j’étais de passage au Manitoba. J’aimais tellement qu’elle raconte de ses souvenirs de mes parents avec elle et votre père. Ces deux couples ont fait bien des choses ensemble. Il faut dire que mon père et le votre était très proche, étant des cousins qui ont grandi ensemble à Fanystelle, avant de devenir des beaux-frères. Sachez aussi que dans les dernières années de vie à ma mère, elle aimait beaucoup visiter sa soeur Cécile. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de force et de courage dans ce temps difficile. Au moins votre maman est allé retrouver son cher Roland, et elle veillera toujours sur vous et vos proches. Votre cousin, Renald Piché - Posted by: Renald Piché (Nephew) on: Feb 21, 2025
