Obituary of Sister Audrey Mary Ann DAOUST

May 23, 1940 – Estevan, Saskatchewan October 17, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta Sister Audrey Daoust, Sister of Charity of St. Louis, died peacefully at Father Lacombe Care Center in Calgary, AB, on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at the age of 77 years, and fifty-eight years of religious life after a long bout with cancer. Audrey was born in Estevan, SK and grew up on a farm near Torquay, SK. In 1956 she joined the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis and made her first profession in 1959. Her years of service included fifteen years of teaching (Marquis, Moose Jaw, Melville, Regina SK, and Medicine Hat, AB), eight years in Home Care Service (Regina, SK) and twenty years as chaplain at the Pasqua Hospital (Regina, SK). Audrey was a woman of many talents. She had an artistic nature and used her creativity in both her ministry and community. She had a love for people which naturally superseded her notion of time! Audrey was a very good teacher and she enjoyed ministering to people in their homes, but her greatest love was doing chaplaincy work; there she excelled and her care and compassion was very much appreciated by the patients and their families. She had a way of recruiting volunteers who have stayed loyal to her and this ministry over the years. Sister Audrey will be lovingly remembered by her SCSL Sisters; her family Elaine (Britt) Gedak, Donnie (Ron) Eisler, Vivean (Gerald) Mack, Pat (Ed) Hutt, Brenda (Mark) Walliser, Bill Daoust; sisters-in-law Margaret Daoust and Kathy Daoust; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and co-ministers. She was predeceased by her parents, Leon and Zita Daoust; her brothers Gaylord and Percy. We are grateful for the excellent care given to Audrey by the staff at Father Lacombe Care Center, Calgary, and Dove House, Regina.
