GEORGETTE CECILE MARIE JONES
Georgette Cecile Marie Jones, beloved wife of Raymond Jones, passed away on Saturday, January 28, 2023, at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with family by her side.
Georgette is survived by her husband, Ray; children, Michelyn (Steve) and Christian (Robyn) and grandchildren, Elle and Payne, Mattea, Maryn, and Mia. She will be missed by all her brothers, sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews.
Georgette was predeceased by her parents, Donat and Yvonne Gagnon and father and mother-in-law Tom and Eileen Jones. Georgette was born in St. Anne, Manitoba on May 21, 1955 and lived in Richer for her entire childhood. Following graduation from St. Anne's high school, Georgette moved to Winnipeg to work in the office at Modern Automotive Warehousing. There, she met the love of her life, Ray, and they were married August 24, 1974, at Precious Blood Roman Catholic Church in St. Boniface. Georgette worked at many places over the years, always dedicated and exhibiting a strong work ethic. She recently retired after working 28 years in the Credit Department at Palliser Furniture.
Through her adventures with Ray, they lived in and travelled to many places, and eventually retired in Stonewall while dividing their time at the family cottage at the Narrows. She had many talents, including sports, cooking, and gardening, and loved a good do-it-yourself project. Georgette made close friendships throughout her lifetime, but her family was her center. Family time was important to her, and she was her children and grandchildren's biggest cheerleader.
Georgette fought a long and hard battle to the end - her positivity, courage, and strength an inspiration.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of the doctors, nurses, and health care aides who cared for Georgette at CancerCare, the Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital.
A private funeral service and Mass for family will be held.
If so desired, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to CancerCare Manitoba.

My dear friend Geo ( as I also called you). It has taken me a while to be able to write to you, as I am still struggling to coming to terms that you have passed. I take comfort in knowing that you are in a better place with the lord God, and that someday we will meet up again, and that you are now pain free. I want you to know that you do and will always carry a special place in my heart. You were the dearest of friends, even though for a few years we lost touch with busy lives and not living in the same province. I am so grateful that I was able to see you and tell you just how much you meant to me and how much I loved you. We had so many great times together, and I will always treasure the memories of those times, and your wonderful laugh that always warmed my heart. To Ray, Michelyn and Christian and their families I am so sorry for this devastating loss of your wife and mother. She was simply the best! Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love your friend, Cheryl - Posted by: Cheryl McCartney (Friend) on: Feb 26, 2023

I never had the pleasure of meeting your wife Raymond, but I remember your visit one year to the farm in Ashern. And of course Uncle Tom and Auntie Eileen were always a very welcome visit. I am so sorry for your loss. She was taken too soon. Condolences to you and the entire family. Frances Jones Kerbrat - Posted by: Frances Jones Kerbrat (Cousin) on: Feb 06, 2023

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Georgette for many years at Palliser. She was a delightful person to whom I could always share a laugh or a story. She spoke glowingly about her family; making it abundantly clear she loved them so much. We’d often run into each other at the Tim’s by Palliser after her retirement and I always left with a big smile on my face having seen her again. I am truly saddened by her passing and offer my sincere condolences to her family and close friends. - Posted by: Darren Stevenson (Coworker) on: Feb 04, 2023
