They spent most of their married life in Monominto enjoying nature and their friends there. Then they moved to a beautiful Seine River lot in Lorette, MB. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Steinbach Bethesda Hospital for their kindness, compassion and for treating her with dignity. According to Jeny's wishes, there will be no funeral services.

My Aunt Jenny possessed a great gift of being natural. She made everyone feel at ease and welcomed. She displayed this rare talent on a daily basis...and was loved for it. In life she was strong and brave and didn't moralize. With the entire country watching (Yes...the entire country) she stood by her father in his time of need. Earlier after the tragic loss of her son Jeff she stoically and with grace continued the next phase of her life in Lorette. She was loved for her charming home and was a frequent host to family and friends. My love for her came later in life as one of those guests...I will miss her. - Posted by: Charles Placktis (Nephew) on: Jun 16, 2018
