26, 1928 – May 7, 2019
With deep sadness we announce that Jeanette Simpson passed away in Calgary,
AB at the age of 91 years.
Born on a farm south of Daysland, AB to Joseph and Caroline Brausen (nee Lansing), Jeannette grew up with 5 siblings; Evelyn, Adrienne, James, Glen, and LaVerne. When Jeanette was 18, she moved to Edmonton to work as a Stenographer. It was there that her friend Marion set Jeanette up on a date with a man tall enough to dance with.
Jeanette was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother
who loved to laugh and appreciated the simple things in life. She was a great
role model for us in life.
Jeanette will be deeply missed by her children; Ian (Michiko Ono), Doug (Camelia Wong), Richard (Florence), and Michelle (Roman) Zygadlo; grandchildren, Michael, Daniel and Jacquelyn; step grandchildren Chad and Jodi; step great grandchildren, Damien, Jade and Mason; numerous extended family and many dear friends. She is predeceased by her best friend and husband Ed, as well as all of her siblings.
