Jeanne St. Laurent (née Renault; October 22, 1886 – November 14, 1966) was the wife of Louis St. Laurent, the 12th Prime Minister of Canada.
Biography
Renault was born in Beauceville, Quebec.[2] Her parents were Pierre-Ferdinand Renault (1853–1912) and Amanda Montminy (1853–1922). Pierre-Ferdinand Renault was a Beauceville businessman (originally from Ste-Claire-de-Dorchester, Quebec) and changed his family name from Renaud.
Renault met Louis St. Laurent at a party in Quebec City in 1906 while he was working as a lawyer,[3] and they married in 1908. They had five children together, two sons and three daughters.[2] In 1951, she moved the family to Ottawa, after the government purchased an official prime-ministerial residence at 24 Sussex Drive. She would tour with her husband, but she refused to fly and never became reconciled to living in Ottawa.[3]
