On April 17, 2024, Jennie passed away peacefully at Macassa Lodge. Loving and devoted mother to Raymond, Diane and Gregory. She will be lovingly remembered by cherished grandchildren Andrea (Ian), Mark, John (Hope), Shelley (Adrian), Jordan (Christina), Jessica, Nicole (Sebastian), Eric, Kevin and Allison. Very special great grandmother to Megan, Jenna, William and Nora. Aunt Jennie will be mourned by many loved and devoted cousins, nieces and nephews. She treasured your phone calls and visits. Predeceased by her husband Alfons (1989), sister Stella (2012; Joe 2002), brother Walter (2012; Helen 2016), daughter Barbara (2020) and son-in-law Dan (2021). Jennie started working one day after her sixteenth birthday. From The Hamilton Military Hospital (1941-1946), to The McGregor Clinic (1946-1948) and in 1949 she started her parents’ grocery and deli store. She then went on to work in personnel at Morgan’s, Robinson’s and The Bay at the Centre Mall (1966-1987) only to retire to look after grandchildren while volunteering with Meals on Wheels. It seems she never stopped! Hosting family gatherings with homemade favourites gracing the dinner table was definitely her pride and joy! She sincerely valued the closeness of family. A very special thank you to Macassa Lodge staff for your loving care and support.
