Jeanette also leaves behind her heartbroken best friend and steadfast companion of many years, Patrick Purcell. Born to Nicholas and Mary in Saskatoon, Jeanette lived most of her life in the Toronto area.
In her prime, in addition to marrying and raising her family, she found great joy in gardening and creating crafts and baking for family and friends, and in her Ukrainian Catholic church in Thornhill, where she was an active member of its Women's League and choir.
She was a founder of the church seniors group and later very active in the North York Seniors Centre.
Jeanette will be very fondly remembered for imbuing her own love of music, animals and her Ukrainian cultural heritage within her children.
