After a courageous battle of cancer, Jackie passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family, on December 25, 2017 at the North Bay Regional Health Centre, at the age of 72.
Jackie is survived by her three children; LeeAnne Annett (James), Monique Turgeon (Victor) and Raymond Regimbald (Darlene). She was the loving and proud Memere to her seven grandchildren, Chantelle (Andre), Jimmy (Sandra), Christopher, Ryan, Lisa (Ryan), Tyler (Catherine) and Kyle. Jackie's proudest moments was when she became a great grandmother "Grandmama" to Rhys, Anna and Ryli.
She was predeceased by her husband Paul, and her parents Victor and Leona Charette, and is survived by her brother Leo Charette (Debbie). Jackie will be sadly missed by her many nieces and nephews, and her friend Tom.
Her home and heart were always opened to her family and friends. She loved to listen to music and danced the night away, mom's smile radiated the room and her infectious laughter will always be remembered.
In keeping with Jackie's wishes, there will be no funeral services at this time, cremation has occurred at Basic Funerals. The family will announce a Celebration of Jackie's life at a later date and will be held in the spring.
Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Galema, Dr. Jinnah and the compassionate care from the nursing staff of C3 at North Bay Regional Health Centre. A special Thank you to Father Trevor for you kind words, special blessings and prayers.
In lieu of flowers, if you would like to honour Jackie’s memory, the family would like to greatly acknowledge and consider a memorial donation to the Nipissing Serenity Hospice.
