Brother Armand Lemaire, 93, passed away peacefully on February 28. He professed his first religious vows in 1944 and, for nearly 70 years, he served the Assumption community in a number of critical roles where he inspired and impacted countless students’ lives. These include service as assistant treasurer, alumni ambassador, and, most recently, special assistant to the director of alumni relations.
In 2006, Brother Armand was a recipient of the prestigious Assumption President’s Medal, conferred by President Emeritus Thomas Plough, and in 2008 was inducted into the institution’s Athletic Hall of Fame in recognition of his unique and numerous contributions to the department.
In addition to his accounting expertise, Brother Armand was devoted to the liturgical life of the Church and dedicated much time to preparing for Masses and prayer services on the Assumption campus.
His services were held in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit in early March. Gifts in memory of Brother Armand can be made to The Brother Armand Lemaire, A.A., Scholarship Fund, created in his honor by the Class of 1969, to support Assumption students.
