In memoriam...

Irene M. Simoneau

BREWER - Irene Simoneau, 69, died

Jan. 23, 2010, at a Bangor health care facility.

She was born Feb. 11, 1940, in Boston, the

daughter of Edward J. Simano and Theresa

B. (Pratt) Simano Andreoli. She was raised in

Lowell, Mass., where she lived in the Little

Canada section of the city. She graduated from

the local schools and was valedictorian at St.

Joseph High School for Girls, Class of 1961.

Irene graduated cum laude in history at Lowell

State College and pursued her education at the

University of Virginia, receiving a master's

degree in international relations in 1969.

She then enrolled in the doctoral program in

Canadian-American history at the University

of Maine. Irene was a member of the Foster

Grandparent program and had been elected to

the school board in Northwood, N.H. She was

Center at the University of Maine. Irene was a

longtime history and French language teacher at St. Joseph Regional High School and

Lowell Catholic High School, Lowell, Mass.

Surviving are two brothers and sisters-in-law,

Robert and Sandra Simano, and Thomas and

Debra Andreoli of Lowell, Mass.; two neph-

ews, Thomas Andreoli and his wife, Nancy, and Michael Andreoli of Hudson, N.H.; and two nieces, Susan and Jennifer of Idaho. Also surviving are two beloved cats that brought her much joy. She was grateful to her dearest friends, Jessie Bidol and Lee White for their loving care and compassion. Funeral services will be held 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, at

St. John's Episcopal Church, 205 French St.,

Bangor, with the Rev. Marguerite A.H. Stead-

ings-Smith, Clark-Piper Chapel, Brewer.

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God has chosen for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I've now found peace at the end of day.

If my parting has left a void,

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;

Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief;

Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and peace to thee,

God wanted me now-He set me free

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND OUR

ENDANGERED SPECIES: THE FRANCO-

AMERICAN CASE

Le F.A.R.O.G. FORUM, Wednesday, September 18, 1974

In 1940, 16.3% of Maine's popula-

tion used French as their mother-tongues.

In 1970, this percentage has declined to

14.2%. In 1940, Franco-Americans spoke

an accent. They and their children attended

Church-sponsored bilingual schools where

French was taught for half a day. They

returned home at the end of a hard day's work to read a French newspaper. At night, the older members of the group attended the meetings of a French club or society of their choice. They enrolled in a French national society which took care of their insurance needs. They still remembered some of the old songs and sang them in their schools or festi-quotesdbs_dbs46.pdfusesText_46
