Jeanine Marie LeBlanc, of Sarnia, Ontario passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 7,2024.
Jeanine was born on December 10, 1929 to Maxime and Belzamie in Charny, Quebec. She went on to become a registered nurse and to embark on a life that took her across the United States and Canada.
She married Ernst in California and their first child, Yvonne, was born in 1962. Their second child, Michael, was born in 1965.
Jeanine was a fantastic mother and provider and her love and cheerfulness guided our family through both good and difficult times. She was an avid animal lover and reader as well as an artist and a writer. After retiring from nursing, her travels would take her from Hawaii to Russia and Africa and many points in between. In retirement, she was a friend to everyone and was often the first person to say “hello” to new residents at her long-term care home.
Jeanine was predeceased by her father, mother and brother. She is survived by her children Yvonne and Michael, her grandchildren Meghan, Holly, Matthew and Aidyn and her great-grandchildren Zoey, Henry and Theo.
A service will be held in Quebec on a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers it is asked that donations be made to your local Humane Society.
