Obituary of Jeannette Frances Serota
Passed away peacefully at Sunrise of Unionville on May 31, 2022. Jenny was born in Merrill, Wisconsin and is predeceased by her parents Ervin and Anne Scheu. She spent her final days surrounded by her three attentive and adoring children, Kelly (Paul) DuMaresq, Ken Serota, and Karen Serota. Her small suite overflowed with the laughter, stories, and tears of her five granddaughters, Heidi and Heather Dumaresq, Allie and Kristie Serota, and Grace Draznin. As well as special friends Dorothy Thomas, Danny Valente, Curtis Robinson, Troy Hilson, Sarah Glaser, Charlie Dunton, and Ken Draznin.
For those who knew her, Jenny’s house was a Markham institution. From the comfort of her front porch, she made friends with neighbours and watched the town grow and evolve over the past five decades. Jenny cherished her garden and home, which she filled with thousands of books and hundreds of porcelain Friar Tucks, a collecting hobby she enthusiastically shared with her late husband Hal Serota (1935-2008). She bequeathed her love of storytelling, antiquing, baking, gardening, and card games to her family. Jenny’s presence and laughter will be dearly missed, and the family takes solace in knowing that wherever she is, Hal, the love of her life, is there to greet her.
Friends will be received at the DIXON-GARLAND FUNERAL HOME, 166 Main Street N, Markham on Tuesday, June 7th from 7-9pm. A memorial service will be held in the funeral home chapel on Wednesday, June 8th at 11am.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Jeannette
