With sadness the McGee family announces the passing of our remarkable mom, Jeanne D’Arc McGee (nee Therriault). Peacefully at Northumberland Hills Hospital, Sunday September 25, 2022.
She will be missed by a large extended family, including her three sisters Germaine, Anny and Rollande, cousins, nieces and nephews and by her son Ned McGee, her daughter Barbara McGee and her husband Barry Mortin, and her granddaughter Hayley Mortin. Wife of the late Melvin McGee.
Babysitter, baby whisperer, bread winner, bread maker, schoolteacher (in a pinch) postal worker, apprentice denturist, bank teller, bookkeeper, switch board operator, a fashion forward beauty, seamstress, knitter, fisherman, mechanic, spice lady, gardener, joker…opera lover, Pavarotti groupie, wife, mother, grandmother, a pioneer of Quebec’s lower north shore.
From her granddaughter Hayley, "Her philosophy was that there was nothing she could not do, which was a sentiment that she taught to me as early as I could remember".
Always working, doing……no problem was unsolvable…"MacGyver Mom"…. always helping, always mom…...with so much love.
Long live her memory and all her good deeds.

Ned and Barb - our hearts are with you- it’s never easy to say goodbye - she was an amazing woman who left so many wonderful memories - she will be dearly missed. Love you all.
Nous comprenons votre peine. Tante Jeanne D'Arc était une femme formidable!
To Barbara, Ned, Haley, Barry, the entire Therriault family, and all her friends and loved ones - may (my aunt) Jeanne D’Arc rest in peace. She was truly a special human being, with a huge heart, a boisterous laugh, and a smile that lit the room. Those who knew her are better for it. Return to you other brothers and sisters gone before you - and say hi to mom for me. Xxx
