Jeannette
Thibault, beloved mother, grandmother and friend, passed away
peacefully on July 6, 2024, in her Charlotte home surrounded by
family, at the age of 93. She was born to Alfred and Maria Comeau on
December 10, 1930.
Family
meant everything to her. She was a devoted mother to Norman, Marcel
(deceased), Rene, Paul (deceased), Paulette, Jim, Gary and Claudette
“Sis” and their spouses, Terri, Averil, Judy, Mary and
Kenneth. She was predeceased by her husband, Claude. Jeannette was
also an adored Memere to 22 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
Her home was a sanctuary where family gathered to share stories and
create cherished memories. In particular, Mom’s Christmas
celebrations were filled with warmth, delicious food and traditions.
Memere had a special bond with her grandchildren, whom she loved
teaching and playing games with. She was delighted to attend their
sports events and activities, encouraging them to pursue their
passions.
She
was the definition of hard work and dedication, serving as the
driving force behind the Thibault Farm. She taught by example,
approaching every task with determination, resilience and enduring
faith. Instilling these values in her children, she raised them to
believe they could achieve anything they set their minds to.
In
addition to her dedication to the farm, Mom enjoyed life to the
fullest; known as the “Qwirkle Queen” to family and
friends, she relished game nights. Other passions included bingo,
dancing and casino trips, where she could test her luck and enjoy the
excitement of the games.
A
very special thank-you to our BAYADA Hospice team, with deep
gratitude to nurse Melissa Chenier for her thoughtful, kind and
attentive care.
Funeral
services will be held on Thursday, July 11, 11 a.m., at Our Lady of
Mt. Carmel Church in Charlotte.
In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Grand Central Station PO Box
4777, New York, NY 10163.
Jeannette
will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her memory will continue
to inspire and guide us.
