Obituary of Jeanne McBride
“If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.” – Margaret Thatcher.
She was a force … an indominable spirit … a matriarch … a trailblazer … a daughter, sister, aunt, and friend who did so much for so many. She was an incredible human being with immeasurable grace, kindness, and generosity.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved aunt, Jeanne McBride, at the incredible age of 100 on Friday, February 21, 2025.
The weight of her absence will be felt by the countless lives she bettered simply by knowing her. She is survived by her loving brother, Douglas Stinson, with whom she spoke daily for many years and shared countless cherished memories growing up on the shores of Nova Scotia. She will be missed greatly by Doug, and her many nieces and nephews and their families, including her family in Ottawa who cared for Jeanne during her final days, namely, niece Elaine Stinson, niece Jane Stinson and partner Geoff Bickerton, and great niece Chelsea Braden and partner Alex Braden. Jeanne is predeceased by her husband, Charles McBride, sister Eleanor Ellis, and brothers Arthur and William (Bill) Stinson.
Jeanne was passionate not only about her family and community, but also her many varied interests and career endeavors, most notably her pivotal role with the CRTC where she helped to ensure the mandated percentage of Canadian content was aired on radio stations coast to coast. She was a member of the Friends of the National Gallery of Canada, and a long-standing member of the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, where she hit her first hole-in-one at 92 years of age.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who cared for Jeanne, including her dedicated physician of many years, Katelyn Lalonde, her friends and staff at Crystal View Lodge, and the nursing team at Amica.
In honour of her wishes, there will be no service. She will be remembered always. In Jeanne’s memory and to continue her legacy of generosity, if you wish, kindly make a donation to your food bank or shelter of choice.
