Emile Joseph Arseneault

It is with deep sadness that the family of Emile Joseph Arseneault announces his peaceful passing on October 20, 2025, at Bobby’s Hospice, at the age of 85.

Born on September 7, 1940, Emile was the beloved son of the late Nicholas and Zelia (Henry) Arseneault. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather.

Emile’s greatest joy in life was his family. He especially adored his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, who brought a special light to his eyes and filled his days with laughter and pride.

Emile started with Lawson Motors at a young age and continued his journey in the parts department throughout different companies and spending the last 19 years working in the Parts Department at Universal Sales, where he was known for his reliability, work ethic, and friendly nature. He retired twenty years ago, having built a legacy of hard work and dedication.

In his spare time, Emile loved to golf with his daughter Brenda and was happiest outdoors on the course with friends. He lived his life with quiet strength, kindness, and a deep appreciation for simple joys.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 64 years, Louise Arseneault (née Saulnier); his children: Kevin Arseneault (Heather), Brenda Legere (Mike), and Susan Lent (Chris Sproul); his grandchildren Angela Lent, Brian Lent (Kelly), Cody Lent (Jackie), Jamie Legere (Lindsay), Chelsea Gavin (Matt), Nicholas Arseneault (Ashley), Adam Arseneault, 14 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great-granddaughters. He is also survived by his sister Theresa Elward (Art) and sister-in-law Donna, along with several nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Emile was predeceased by his parents Nicholas and Zelia, his brothers Gerald (Margaret), Ovila, and Larry (Betty), and his sister Maryann Maksymick.
