On Saturday April 25th, 2020 Jeannette Gray passed away peacefully at her residence in Pointe-Claire. She was 97 years old.
Jeanette was born May 10th, 1922 to Saidie and Said Shaar who immigrated from Lebanon.
She was a well-loved lifelong Hudson native. She finally gets to go home to her beloved home town that she referred as her “little piece of heaven” to be laid to rest with her husband D’Arcy Gray and her son David. Mom loved her family, her house, her yard and her vegetable garden. Some of her favorite things to do were the Wednesday night dinners at the yacht club, her bridge groups, and faithfully reading the Montreal Gazette.
She is survived by her daughter Linda Fischer and her husband Gary, their children Michelle Manning and her husband Will, Matthew Johnston and his wife Nora, Benjamin Fischer and her great granddaughters Sadie, Emilia and Darcy as well as many nieces and nephews.
We will share plans for a celebration of life ceremony at a further date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of GRAY Jeannette nee Shaar 1922-..

My heartfelt condolences to Linda and extended family. Jeanette held a large place in my heart when I was a child. Her son David was my best friend and neighbour when I was a boy and Jeanette was always making sure we didn’t get into too much trouble. Somehow she always knew what we were up to. My wife and I visited Jeanette many years ago at her house on Cedar. It was a last minute decision and we arrived with no notice. But Jeanette was thrilled. She made some tea and we had a nice long chat with her. She was a very kind and generous lady.
