Jeannine was a homemaker all her life and took great joy in raising and nurturing her seven children and was continually delighted by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A deeply spiritual person, Jeannine faithfully attended Sainte-Anne-des-Pays-Bas in Fredericton where she made many lasting friendships. Jeannine and her late husband were strong supporters of the Canadian Red Cross and were honored by the Lieutenant Governor for their many years of Volunteering and also volunteered with Fredericton Meals on Wheels for many years.
