Jeanette M. Schoonmaker, age 84, of Edmonton, Alberta, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 26, 2024 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
She was predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Edna Fortier, her grandmother, Margaret “Maw” Levison, and her son, Michael. Through the tragic loss of her son, she gained another daughter in her life.
Jeanette will be lovingly remembered by her brother, Larry (Joyce); daughters, Lorraine (Dave), Katelyn (Jim), and Terri; seven grandchildren: Michelle, Denby, Blair, Kirsten, Tyler, Casey, and Bryan; four great-grandchildren: Emma, Ripley, James, and Bella.
Born in the coldest and snowiest January, it is no wonder she was such a strong woman. Through all the trials and tribulations of her life, Jeanette persevered with a strong independence and kept on smiling.
Jeanette lovingly referred to her grandmother as “the light of my life”, but she was also a light in all of ours.
Please join the family for a memorial reception honouring Jeanette's life at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at Memories Funeral Home and Crematorium, 13403 St Albert Trail, Edmonton, Alberta.
