Obituary of Jeannine Lucette Marie Fillion

Peacefully surrounded by her family, Jeannine Fillion passed away December 28, 2015 at Action Marguerite, in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 90 years. Jeannine is survived by six daughters and one son: Yvette (Dave), Jocelyne (Walter), Claude (Gloria), Ginette (Geoff), Colette (Greg), Estelle (Jack), Danielle (Rick); Grandchildren: Jason, Heather, Ian, Shad, David, Shawn, Nicole, Dustin, Kristin, Jenna & Andrew as well as six great grandchildren. She will also be missed by her brother George Bruneau (Celima) and sisters: Yvette St. Godard, Lorraine Foss, Rose-Marie Bremault (Roger), Annie-Marie Roy (Richard), sisters-in-law: Germaine and Irene; and also brothers and sisters-in-law from the Fillion family. Jeannine was predeceased by her husband Albert, her parents Ludger and Angelina Bruneau; brothers: Leo, Ephrem and Aime. Mom married Albert in 1946 and together they raised their seven children in St. Jean-Baptiste. After enduring numerous floods they moved into town to enjoy their retirement. We will miss her specialty roast beef dinners, her pate de fois gras with her homemade mustard, late night snacking on toasted asparagus and cheese sandwiches, and her hangover soup the next morning. Jeannine was a member of the Ligue Des Femme Catholique. She loved to crochet, play cards and play bingo. Jeannine loved being with her family and especially her grandkids. The funeral service will be held Saturday, January 2, 2016 at 2:00pm at the St. Jean-Baptiste Catholic Church. Viewing will be held at the church prior to the service at 1:30pm with the eulogy read at 1:45pm. Interment will take place in the parish cemetery. The family wishes to thank the caring staff at Action Marguerite (Foyer Valade). Donations in memory of Jeannine Fillion may be made to the charity of their choice.
