Devoted mother of Michelle and Ted and his fiancee Dawn Pagano. Dear daughter of Lillian and the late Michael Bertrand (2003). She is survived by her brothers Paul (Marg) Bertrand of Niagara Falls and Robert (Marg) Bertrand of Ajax. Holding her close in their memories are several family members and friends. She will be dearly missed by her special friend Shirley Robbie, who offered a great deal of support and love through the past several months. Jeanne will be waiting to have another toast with Theresa and Solange. Jean had been a dedicated teacher for 33 years, teaching at St. Alfred†™s, St. James, and ending her career at Holy Cross when retiring in 2001. Special thanks to those special nurses whose compassion, love and support saw no boundaries and offered her peace in her final days. During the course of her illness, a special young girl named Mukuba from Africa, who is suffering from Aids, touched Jeanne, because of this Jeanne has requested that any memorial remembrances be made to Seeds of Hope. They promised to wait for each other in Heaven. Jean is resting at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 585 Carlton St. where a memorial service to celebrate her life will be held on Friday at 11:00am.
