Constance Arsenault Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Connie graduated from Lawrence Technology University with a BS Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1994, and Oakland University with a BS Degree in Biochemistry in 2020. She spent her engineering career working at General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, and United Defense as a Systems Engineer. Connie enjoyed life, family, and friends. She and Joe were foster parents to Michael Green. She also enjoyed playing guitar, photography, gardening, boating, fishing, and traveling when possible. While she was sick, she went back to school part-time to keep her mind off of her health and eventually received a second BS degree at Oakland University with Summa Cum Laude honors. Recently she took up painting and PC printing.
Connie asked her husband to thank the friends and family who stood by her and supported her during her long illness. As well as the staff at Karmanos Cancer Institute, who made her treatment as comfortable as possible. She also appreciated the friends and professors at Oakland University who provided her a place to escape from her problems during her time in class and kept her mind busy while studying at home.
The family will hold a Memorial Celebration for Connie in Connecticut. Memorial Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I first met Connie in the summer of 2017 when she was a student in my Gen Chem I class. It was obvious that Connie was an outstanding student. She earned the high score on nearly every test. I also had Connie in my Gen Chem II class the following fall. Same thing: high score after high score.
In the fall of 2019, Connie was a student in my Analytical Chemistry class (a class that involved 3 hours of lecture and 7 hours of lab). Connie told me that she would probably miss some class time due to her cancer treatment. I must say I was concerned about how she would hold up in the lab. I was also concerned about how she would be treated by her fellow students, all of whom were at least 25 years younger than her. But she fit right in. She never missed a class. And she continued to get high scores.
That fall was the last time I saw Connie, but we remained in regular email contact. We addressed "important" issues such as our cats, music, her guitars, concerts we went to in the 80s, and fishing. The depth of her knowledge was stunning.
I want to tell Joe and Connie's family that although she was an introvert and extremely humble, Connie couldn't hide her brilliance. She couldn't hide her courage. She couldn't hide her strength. We saw it so clearly! No doubt her memory is a blessing to all who took the time to know her.
