Janette (Jan) Marontate (Lucier), born at sunrise on November 11, 1941 the only daughter of the late Jacob and Anna (Bondy) Lucier. She departed on the morning of Mother’s Day at the age of 79. Jan faced her lengthy battle with a rare cancer with her head held high; never allowing it to take away her passion and joy for life. Beloved wife and best friend of Leonard Marontate sharing 60 wonderful years of marriage.
Jan’s greatest joy was her family. She was the devoted mother of Bradley and Sandra Marontate, Lisa and Colin Hill of Lindsay, Barry Marontate and Brooke Greco, predeceased by her daughter Laurie (2002)(Berger, Vermette). She was the precious Grandma to her eight grandchildren whom she adored more than anything; Austin and Aundrea Marontate, Jordan and Kristi Berger, Matt Berger and Angelina, Andrew and Kim Hill, Grant Hill and Catherine, Eric Hill and Alanna, James Marontate and Dayna, and Shane Perry. She was blessed this Easter to meet her first great-grandchild Cooper Hill, and was excitedly awaiting the arrival of Baby Berger.
Jan had many talents; she and Len proudly planned and contracted their beautiful waterfront home and then set to work landscaping, decorating and making it into a gathering spot for family and friends. She was always busy in the kitchen and loved to be gathered around the table with family. She was an avid gardener, who could work miracles with any flower. At Christmas she would lovingly transform the family home into a magical wonderland where many beautiful memories were made with her children and grandchildren. Jan had many careers but was most passionate about her time as a real estate agent; she especially took pride in helping young couples find their first home. Above all else, Jan was a woman of great strength and integrity, she was fiercely compassionate and generous; never hesitating to lend a caring hand to anyone in need.
Blessed to have shared her life with 8 brothers who so proudly carried the Lucier family name. Hector and Delores, Albert (2018) and Pauline, Joseph and Giselle, Leo and Dorothy, Ernest and Jeanette, Lawrence (2019) and Patricia, Alfred and Donna, Donald and Marnie, and sister-in-laws Mary Ann and Theresa (2017).
Will be fondly remembered by the Marontate family; Edwin and Frankie, Marylou (George 1996), Carol (Marvin 2006), Donnie and Karen, Doug and Anne, Marvin and Linda. Many thanks for the love and support throughout the years.
Affectionately known as Aunt Jenny to many nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews with whom she shared countless good times and memories.
Godmother to Laura Lou, Melissa, Jerry, Chris and Steven.
Special thank you to Patsy Lucier for her friendship and support, especially during Jan’s final weeks. Jan will be missed by Rick and Nadja Dufour, and Doreen Marontate.
