Maureen Monette was a teacher at Our Lady of Mount Carmel (formerly known as Gardenvale) for most of her career starting in the early 60s. She taught kindergarten for several years. Later she moved into resource and then proceeded to focus on a program for students with special needs.
Mrs. Monette was an inspiration to her students and at 4’10” commanded (and was granted) the utmost respect from even the most challenging of students.
She never stopped learning and continued her pursuit of knowledge throughout her life. Maureen was particularly proud of her Masters in Theology that she achieved while working full time and raising 3 boys, right next to the Gardenvale schoolyard.
Her volunteer efforts were endless and overtook her retirement years. Her involvement in projects in Cambodia, Cross Lake, Africa and Nicaragua continue to be felt to this day.
Maureen Monette Obituary (2016) - Ottawa Citizen (legacy.com)
OLM School is located at 675 Gardenvale Rd at the corner of Cummings Ave. in Ottawa’s east end. The school serves students from Junior Kindergarten through to Grade 6. The staff has always been very committed to helping the students in this wonderful but at times challenging community. (As a former student, son of a long time OLM teacher and next-door neighbour to this school I speak from experience).
