She was predeceased by her husband of 42 years, Steve, her parents, Euclide and Maria, brothers, Albert (Lillian), Leo (Elise), Denis and Rene, and sisters, Georgette (Noctaire) Nault, Irene Yvon, Bertha (Andrew) Hora and Diane Badder. Jeanine will be lovingly remembered by, her daughters, Shirley (Fred) Champagne, Carol (George) Sokoliuk, Marlene (Fred) Olynyk and Nancy (Darrell) Driver, her son Keith Werbeniuk, her sister Lorraine Charette, sisters-in-law, Helen LeBleu and Leslie LeBleu, brother-in-law Gerard Yvon, grandchildren, Jeffrey (Courtney), Kevin, Trevor (Sue), Charlene (Colin), Lisa (Kevin), Blair (Megan), Shannon (Justin), Chad, Nathan, Falyn (Jordan) and Justin (Christina) and 19 great-grandchildren. As well as many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Jeanine was raised in Woodridge, MB where she continued to live and raise her family until 1998 when she moved to Winnipeg to be closer to her children. Mom enjoyed cooking and baking for her family. Pies and breads were her specialty. Later in life Mom started to travel, she went on numerous trips with her daughters taking the opportunity to see many different places. She made many trips visiting her sister, daughters and son as well as watching her grandsons' play hockey. Tim's coffee always in hand, she cheered on her Jets to the end, shopping and crafting kept her busy, but nothing was more important to her than family; she is the glue that keeps us together and will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered. The family would like to thank the staff at Concordia Hospital for the care and compassion shown during Mom's stay. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at the Holy Redeemer Parish, 264 Donwood Drive, Winnipeg, Manitoba with reception to follow. Cremation will follow with a private interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
