JEAN MARY BEAUCHEMIN
Be kind, loving and generous. Life is short.
Mom has passed and we are sad. Jean Mary Beauchemin (née Duchek) was born on July 21, 1934, to William Duchek and Mary Hallama. Mom was raised on a farm in Grande Pointe. She was predeceased by her parents; her husband Roméo; her brothers, James, Edward (Moira). She leaves to mourn her passing her brother Frank (Adelina); her sister-in-law Jeanine Beauchemin; her children, Marlise (Marc), Paul (Dori), Michele (Les), Elaine, Dennis (Lisa); 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Mom was raised on the farm and worked hard doing the many chores required by all family members at that time. It was not her calling. One of her passions was beauty and fashion. She had an eye for symmetry and took pride in creating it in any way she could. Her other passion was music. She taught herself to play the accordion, the guitar, and the harmonica. Even though she was an introvert, she entertained a lot. When the meal was over, and bonfire was lit, she could sit and entertain for hours, playing her favourite tunes and singing.
Mom was pragmatic, hard-working, kind, and honest in nature. She was proud of her children and taught us the importance of those values until the very end. She chose to use her last moments on earth to connect with each of us one last time, as we witnessed her peaceful passing. It was her final gift to us and for that we have much gratitude.
Please join us in honouring our mother on May 5 at the Howden Community Centre at 1078 Red River Drive, Howden, Manitoba at 3:00 p.m.
Friends and family are invited to share stories and sign the online book of condolences at ejcoutu.ca

My deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of a wonderful, vivacious woman. She always had a smile and she loved her children and their friends whenever we would come over. Very hardworking and dedicated wife and mother. She is with Romeo the love of her life. They made a beautiful couple. May you remember her with fondness and love. There is a part of her in each of the children. Cherish her many qualities that you have from her and the love she had for all of you and her grandchildren. God Bless - Posted by: Sylvia Petit (Friends) on: May 03, 2023

To the family of Jean, Your Mother and sister was such a warm and virtuous woman. Many fond childhood memories of Jean, Ed and Frank and yes, she did have style, something my Mother always admired about her. Take comfort in knowing she has met the face of God.

Our deepest sympathies to the whole family on the loss of your dear mother. It’s never easy to say goodbye to our loved ones. I’m sure Jeane is enjoying re-reading all her Harlequin Romance novels in heaven and telling Romeo to stop pestering her and to go find someone to play crib with. Thinking of you and wishing you all moments of peace and comfort. Love your Frister (Michelle and Art Goossen) - Posted by: Frister Michelle and Art Goossen (Family friend) on: Apr 29, 2023
