A former student of
Brother Marie-Victorin Kirouac,
F.S.C., between 1925 and 1931, she studied at the Botanical Institute of the
University of Montreal. In 1943 she completed a master's degree in botany. Her thesis was entitled "La flore de Rawdon". As part of her research project she put together an
herbarium of over 1,200 species. In 1931 Sister Jean-Eudes became a coordinator of the
Cercles des Jeunes Naturalistes division in the schools run by her
congregation. In 1942 she became responsible for a museum which was maintained in St. Anne Convent, in
Lachine, the
motherhouse of her
religious congregation. She re-organized it as a Natural History Museum. This collection was donated in the early 1970s to the Cité-des-Jeunes High School in
Vaudreuil, Quebec, where her congregation was founded. In 1995 it was permanently housed in the Musée de la nature et des sciences in
Sherbrooke. In 1963 Sister Jean-Eudes started working on a monograph about the "Cercles des Jeunes Naturalistes", which was published only in 1981, after her death. ==References==
