Her obituary was reported in the Catholic Examiner:

Sister Therese-de-l’Infant-Jesus of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (Yvonne Gerin of Coaticook, Quebec, Canada), died of a heart attack in St. Teresa’s Hospital, Kowloon, on Wednesday, 21 December 1960, aged 63, having spent 43 years in Religious life and 21 years in the missions.

Bob Tatz writes:

I know her quite well as she sposored me at my Second Holy Communion at Easter 1942 in Stanley Camp, presided by Canadian Bishop.

She had missioned to Hong Kong in 1933. She did not return to Canada but instead elected to go to Canton in December 17, 1942. Sister St. Stanislas passed away in Canton on September 3,1945, a victim of T.B.
