NOEL ARMAND JOSEPH JEANSON Peacefully on July 11, 2007, Noel passed away. Noel was born on January 5, 1920 in Lorette, MB. Noel married Dora (Hébert) in 1948, built his house and started his family in Windsor Park. After trying several trades, he excelled in aircraft sheet metal work. He had worked for Bristol Aerospace for 18 years before moving to Canadian Aviation Electronics (CAE), and then Transair Midwest Helicopters which evolved to Pacific Western Airlines and finally retiring as an Air Canada employee. Dad always felt that working with aircraft was one of the best jobs that one could ever have. He loved to play cards, and bowled for many years. As life went on, his focus was spending time at the lake with mom and fussing over the odd jobs that had to be done. To Dad, being around people meant everything. Noel was happiest when surrounded by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his wife Dora and by his children; Suzanne Bédard (Bill Trumbley), Noella Ramsay (Dave), Anita Bourget (Dan), Guy Jeanson (Jan), René Jeanson (Linda), Monique Jeanson (Conrad Wyrzykowski), Donat Jeanson (Joanne), Aline Chartrand (Sherman), Thérèse Trudeau (Norm LeBleu); grandchildren, Michelle Cyncora (Jayson), David Bédard, Brigitte Epp (Andrew), Stacey, Justin (Danika Marchand) and Natalie Ramsay, Darryl (Chantal), Jeffrey and Michael Bourget, Julie and Leanne Thorne-Jeanson, Dayna Jeanson, Adam, Kevin and Angela Patton, Roxanne (Mike Pries) and Ryan Jeanson, Jérémie, Janelle and Nicole Chartrand, Eric and Matthew Trudeau; great-grandchildren, Carson, Zenon, and Easton Cyncora, Dante Ramsay, and Saige and Carys Marchand; step-grandchildren, Cory and Jamie Trumbley, Ryan and Kyle Duncan. He is also survived by his brother Louis (Thérèse); sisters, Léa Bahuaud, Eva Timmerman, Emma Bahuaud; in-laws, Claire Jeanson, Jeanine Jeanson, Renée Jeanson, Louis-Aimé Hébert (Rita), Rita Barbe (Emile) and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Octave and Cordelia; grandson Curtis Ramsay; his brothers, Albert, Emile, Jules, Rosaire, Armand, Aimé, and several brothers and sisters-in-law. Dad will always be remembered for his easy-going nature and sense of humour and his devotion to his wife and family.
