Born and raised in St. Boniface, Jeanne and Louis were married in 1960 and raised a family in Lorette for 18 years before moving to Windsor Park in 1983.

Jeanne and her family were deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support expressed by family and friends during her short-lived battle with cancer.
