The lady we call, mom, mommie, ma, oma and to some Jennie or Jeanette.

Jeanette grew up in a family of 5 kids out of the 5 Jeannette was the oldest. She spent her childhood years in Transcona. Having many friends, but her closet friend since childhood Paul Melanson and Jeannette stayed thick as thieves.

Jeannette later welcomed her 2 beautiful children Daniel and Arna-Leigh. Jeannette loved being a mother to her 2 children. She reconnected with a long time friend, Paul Leveque. Fast forward 10yrs and they fell in love. Paul brought with him his 2 children Adam and Michelle. Jeannette welcomed them with open arms. Paul and Jeannette made a life with the 4 kids and remained in Elmwood for a few years. Then they chose to move away from the city and moved their family to Winnipeg Beach. During these years there were many memories made. Jeannette and Paul welcome many of the kids friends into their home and treated them like their own. James Cameron and Lawrence Kibsey were loved a much as their own.

All of Jeannette and Paul's kids spouses where welcome with open arms. Adam's wife Michelle, Michelle's husband Scott, James' wife Tammi, and Lawrence's wife Kim.

Eventually their children started making Jeannette an Oma.

Oma loved her grandbabies. Briane, Tanner, Cameron,Jordan, Cody Allison, Blake, Paris, Ethan,Madisyn, Paris, and Ethan, Curtis, and Cooper. Jeannette also acquired other bonus grandchildren over the years.

Paul and Jeannette installed a pool in their backyard so they could enjoy family BBQs and pool parties.

Jeannette eventually started an annual ladies only pool parties. Apparently they were epic, and kind of like Vegas. "What happens at the pool stays at the pool".

Jeannette's favorite holiday was Christmas. No tree was big enough for her home. Jeannette loved the smell of a real tree. Even one falling over didn't stop her from achieving the best. She just learnt to have it secured to the wall.

Jeannette would be busy baking all the Christmas goodies. Jeannette enjoyed baking for her family and friends.

Jeannette suffered a great loss in 2019 when her daughter Arna-Leigh died suddenly. While also taking care of her sick husband.

When Jeannette's husband got sick she stuck by his side. From learning how to set up a feeding tube to playing nurse maid and learning to make an occupied bed. Jeannette stood by and made sure her husband's wishes were met and never complained. During this time she got to know some of her husband's friends as they wanted to be there for her. Ron and Bev would visit as much as they could to make sure Jeannette never felt alone after her husband's passing. They become great friends.

Jeannette started trying to get out and live life, like she had promised her husband.

She started going out for lunches with her sister Diane, and her sister in law Joanie. They also had Bonnie a bonus sister to their crazy lunches. Jeannette also has many nieces and nephews, there were a few that made the effort to visit or just drop a quick hello. A few to mention are Stormy, Retha and Wendy. Wendy made Jeannette's day when she included her on her special day when she was to wed her husband Albert. Jeannette was honor to be included.

Jeannette even decided to give companionship a chance again. She and Larry Franks both connected and understood each other by having walked the same mile. They were having a great time together. They were enjoying to have someone special to laugh with and to love. Larry brought the spark to Jeannette that had fizzled out for a long time.

Jeannette made everlasting memories with her sisters, her grandbabies, and her children.

You will be truly missed Mom, Oma, Jennie, Jeannette.
