Sister Irene Chaloux , CND, 88, of Montreal, Quebec died on Jan. 12, 2008,
at the Infirmary of the Sisters of the Congregation Notre Dame in
Montreal. She was born Nov. 10, 1919, in St. Johnsbury, Vt., the second
child of Fred and Adelaide Chaloux. Irene attended Mount St. Joseph
Academy and later went to the Normal School of the Congregation Notre
Dame in Montreal. In 1942, she professed vows in the CND order and
dedicated her life for over 65 years to the religious order. She taught in
schools in St. Jean, Sherbrooke, and Montreal, Quebec. Most of her years
teaching were served at Marguerite Bourgeois College in Montreal
teaching English and other subjects in writing and public speaking. After
40 plus years teaching, she retired and took an interest in helping young
immigrants from Korean families learn her language. She continued to
give private lessons in English, in French, and in religion to adults, all of
whom appreciated it immensely. Sister Irene was predeceased by her
parents, Fred and Adelaide Chaloux; her sisters, Mrs. Geraldine Lozeau
and Sister Marion Chaloux, RHSJ; and sisters-in-law, Connie Chaloux and
Fran Lamothe Chaloux. She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law,
Gerard and Gemma Chaloux of St. Johnsbury; a sister, Sister Theresa
Chaloux, CND, of Hastings on the Hudson, N.Y.; and a brother, Bill Chaloux
of Gilbert, Ariz. A mass of Christian burial was celebrated at the chapel of
the CND sisters in Montreal, Quebec, on Jan. 14, 2008.
