Pauline Vanier, 92 governor-general's wife
1991
Overview
Born Pauline Archer in Montreal, she married Vanier, a military officer-turned-diplomat who was governor-general from 1959 to 1967. He died in office in Canada's centennial year. Following her husband's death, Mme. Vanier joined [Jean] at L'Arche, a centre that opened its doors to handicapped people and which he founded in 1967 at Trosly-Breuil, near Paris. The movement has since expanded to 80 communities world-wide, 24 of them in Canada. In an interview with Star correspondent Mary Frances Coady in 1988, Mme. Vanier said she recalled crying in the chapel soon after her arrival at L'Arche. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw a young man standing behind her. Without speaking, she said, he took her by the arm and walked her home. His sensitivity touched her deeply, and she realized then that he was retarded. From then on, her fear of the L'Arche residents began to disappear.
