JEANNINE FRANCOISE GIASSON (née BOTHOREL) Paisiblement dans son sommeil notre chère maman, mémé, soeur, tante et amie est décédée le 25 février 2018 à l'âge de 88 ans. Jeannine est née à Toulon, France le 12 octobre 1929 et a déménagé au Canada à 17 ans. Avec son mari Edouard, ils étaient notre pilier familial. Jeannine adorait les enfants et en a pris soin pendant une grande partie de sa vie. Elle était très fière de ses petits et arrières-petits-enfants, qu'elle gâtait beaucoup. Jeannine était très talentueuse. Elle était une couturière par excellence, elle tricotait, crochetait et coloriait les plus beaux dessins qu'elle nous donnait en cadeaux à Noël. Elle adorait aller à Plage Albert dans le chalet que son Edouard avait bâti!
