Annick CLOAREC began her commitment to Consecrated Life in the congregation of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit, in FRANCE, in 1956. She spent many years there, teaching in different schools of the congregation: she loved her job and had a concern for the education of young girls; she was always attentive to those who had the most difficulties. She ended her professional life in Brest.
In 2002, together with other women living alone, the Secular Branch was founded in recognition of another way to live religious consecration. In the work of developing the statutes, guides of our life following Christ, Annick committed herself in 2003 with her skills, her search for the right expression in the new way of living the consecrated life inserted in the duration where we live. She was for us a precious companion, a beautiful and upright person, demanding but so anxious to be faithful to her first commitment and inhabited by the spirituality of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit.
As she began to feel health problems, she especially wanted to get closer to her mother. She came to live in the neighborhood of Kérinou. She joined with others from the condominium to think about what was best for the whole situation: she was always attentive to the most fragile around her.
In recent years, at the retirement home, Annick has kept, as long as she was able, this concern to seek and express with others what could be the best for the residents, while her health problems became increasingly oppressive.
She enjoyed the visits of her family, particularly her sister Marie Paule, and her close friends. Every Sunday, Marité Normand, one of her companions from the Secular Branch, came to spend a moment with her, giving her some news about us and probably… of the life in Brest that she loved so much!
Now, and since 2 July, the day of your funeral, may the loving Lord welcome her in his tenderness and in his life with all those whom she loved, her parents, her companions who preceded her.
«Goodbye, Annick. Rest in peace».
