Jeanne will be sadly missed by her co-workers
and her many prior students.
She spent 24 years at Cecil Facer as a teacher and an advocate for the native students, then she continued to advocate for the children and helped start the highschool in Wikwemikong. She worked there for 5 years until her first class graduated. Her love didn’t end with people, she loved animals big and small, from the pet hamsters to the foster dogs she opened her home to, always welcoming love from all of them. Her love and support was felt by all who met her.
The family would love to thank the medical staff at the Wiikwemkoong Health Centre, Health Sciences North,
Little Current Health Centre and Long Term Care for all their support and help with her fighting melanoma.
