JEAN-MARIE AULD

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• I met Jean-Marie at the Windsor Community Center when I was involved with the seniors group there. I met her via other people I had just met. In a word Jean-Marie was vibrant. She loved life and I believe she lived it to her full potential. Everyone loved her exuberance, her smile and her laughter. She lives on in my heart and all those lives she touched. Sincere condolences to her family and friends. Sherry Liley - Posted by: Sherry Liley (Friend) on: Jun 17, 2026

• Jean was more like family than just a friend. She went to nursing school with my Mom (Diane Falk) so she was part of our family for many years.She was so kind and thoughtful, always keeping in touch and wanting to know how we were doing. She spoke at my wedding and of course wearing a big beautiful hat that matched her personality. She was also a big part of my Mom's Mother Rene McDiarmid. She spoiled my children every Christmas and sent gifts that my adult kids now remember vividly. She was so positive and such a caring person and we will truly miss her.We send our condolences to her remaining family and to all her friends in Winnipeg and afar.

• I was lucky enough to have Jean Marie land In my chair when a co worker went on Mat leave and we spent the next 15+ years together every 5 weeks for a couple of hours. To know Jean was to love her! I looked forward to every appointment with Jean as did everyone in the shop. She genuinely cared about each and every person she met. Never forgetting anything you shared with her and always making sure to check in on how you were doing and how anyone important in your life was also doing. We were often spoiled by Jean’s kindness with doughnuts for all the girls, treats at Christmas and thoughtful gifts for my daughter. Her infectious smile and laughter will be so very missed by all of us at Cutting Loose! - Posted by: Keiden (Jean’s hairstylist) on: Jun 13, 2026

• I first met Jean-Marie playing bridge with a seniors group at Southdale Community Club. I remember we were discussing all the rabbits around and I jokingly said "We must live in the same neighbourhood." It turns out we did as she lived less than a block away from me. The pandemic put a stop to our bridge mornings but I would frequently see Jean-Marie's little red car stop at our neighbourhood post boxes. If I happened to be out I would always say hi to her. I always got a great big smile and hello. I knew it had been some time since I had seen her and this obituary tells me why. She was a ray of sunshine to many and will be missed. - Posted by: Wendy Barker (Friend) on: Jun 12, 2026

• Jean Marie leaves a lasting legacy among the nursing community and her 1957 nursing classmates. She was kind, caring, knew everyone by name, and “would help everybody.” She was always supportive of student nurses who did their practical experience on her ward. She maintained contact with her nursing classmates over the years and attended nursing reunions on a regular basis. She will be missed when the class of 1957 gathers to celebrate their 70th year since graduation in May 2027. - Posted by: Carol Galbraith (Friendship Convenor Winnipeg General Hospital/ Health Sciences Centre Nurses Alumni Association) on: Jun 08, 2026

• Jean, during the time we worked together at the Health Sciences Centre on MS3 and GA1, I truly enjoyed working with you. You always had amazing stories and great advice, especially when you returned from one of your elaborate vacations. I was always eager to hear all about them. You had such a zest for life and were a beautiful person, both inside and out. You were kind, humble, and brought joy to those around you. You will be deeply missed. Rest easy, my friend. Until we meet again. 🙏🏼😔 ❤️ Sally Pavao - Posted by: Sally Pavao (Coworker/friend) on: Jun 08, 2026

• I spent my childhood in winnapeg and was lucky enough to have Jean Maria and David as part of our extended family. Every summer Jean Maria would take me and my 2 sisters out to David's cabin and and the memories I have are way too many to go in to but we always had a great time. Jean Maria took me under her wing to get me helping her to make cocktails something she was great at doing. I've not seen her since I moved back to Scotland nearly 40 years ago but up until my mother died 3 years ago we where still in contact with her. I know loosing David was hard on her but i bet she was still the heart and sole of any room she was in. Miss you all terrible till we all meet again love you all - Posted by: Adiel Dow (Family friend) on: Jun 07, 2026

• You always knew Jean when she was coming down a hallway at HSC. Tall. Admired. Often a nursing cap on her head! And the biggest smile you have ever seen. RIP Jean. - Posted by: Trish Bergal (Colleague) on: Jun 06, 2026

• I have known Jean for over 40 years. She was a first class nurse and was a mentor for me. I remember when she was head nurse on A6. She truly embodied the spirit of a nurse. In later life I ran into her at Sunday pops music at the symphony. She would stand up and wave and we would talk down the aisles. Rest in piece Jean. You have lived a wonderful life life. - Posted by: Rene Weinstein (Nurse) on: Jun 06, 2026
