We Remember

OUELLETTE, Lucine Jeanette (née Lawrence)

July 15, 1936 — November 10, 2024

Jeanette passed away peacefully on November 10, 2024, in Kelowna, British Columbia. She was born on July 15, 1936, in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.  After graduating from nursing school, Jeanette moved to Alert Bay, BC, in 1958 to begin her nursing career. There, she met her husband and the love of her life, Paul, who was a member of the RCMP. They married in 1960 in Richmond, BC, where they raised their three children—Dan, Anne, and Ken. Jeanette nursed in several hospitals in Vancouver for many years, including 15 years at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, until she retired at age 51. She and Paul then moved to Oyama, BC, where they bought and ran a hobby farm for 13 wonderful years before moving to West Kelowna to travel and enjoy their golden years.

Jeanette will be remembered for her kindness, never-ending energy and dedication to her family. She was a faithful Catholic and served the church in many ways throughout her life. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Paul; her children, Dan (Judy), Anne (Randy), and Ken; five grandchildren, Kyle (Emmy), Eric, Marie (Jason), Iain, and Jessica (Braedyn); and great-grandchild, Nixon. She is predeceased by her brothers, Bill, Joe, Duncan; and sisters, Marie and Betty.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the 3rd floor staff at the Vineyards Residence, who cared for her during the last two years.

A Funeral Mass will be held on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2024, at 10:30 AM, located at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, 2547 Hebert Road, West Kelowna, BC. If you are unable to attend in person, please join the family online by Livestream at the time of the service (see below), a recording will be made available to view shortly thereafter.

    So sorry for your loss. I knew Jeanette while working in St. Joseph’s hospital, and Ray is married to my sister in law Anne. Prayers for all the family.

    My deepest condolences Paul and family. It was my honour to cut Jeanette’s hair when I first moved to West Kelowna and enjoyed our visits when her & Paul would come in. Again, my condolences.

    My deepest condolences to you Paul and your family. Jeanette was a loving, caring person and wonderful wife, mother and friend. I have so many memories of wonderful times spent together with our families. Jeanette brought a special presence to these times, and I admired her. She will certainly be missed.

    I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Jeannette’s passing. She was an amazing woman in so many ways and those who have known her a long time or even a short time will be forever touched by her. As a young man I traded the East Coast for the West Coast and spent most Sundays and special events with Aunt Jeannette and Uncle Paul and the family. I was so blessed to have been welcomed with arms opened wide and lots of love. As I watched the funeral today my mind took me back 40+ years ago and all the memories I have of this wonderful woman and the beautiful family her and Paul created. To uncle Paul, Dan, Anne Michelle, Ken and families I send my love and prayers.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
