Dear family, our condolences to you all. We all loved tante Jeanne dearly, how could we not? Her humor was contagious, and simply being around her was a joy. Her optimism and zest for life is really inspiring. Even though she lived on another continent, she always made us feel her unconditional love. We cherish the lovely moments we were able to spend with her. God bless you tante Jeanne

Dear family, My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. I cherish my fond memories of a strong woman. How can a person carry so much in one life and keep smiling… It was a privilege to know her. God bless

We had known for a while that this day would come. It was time, and we should be thankful that tante Jeanne died peacefully in her sleep. Still, a little voice inside me whispers that she should have left with a big bang!—she was a formidable person, after all. This is how I picture her. Once upon a time, in a magical forest, stood a beautiful tree—tall and strong. She provided shelter, shade, and food to the birds, the bees and other animals of the forest. People would pass by, and everyone loved the tree, especially the children! Kids would run in circles around her, listening to magical stories told by the rustling of her leaves. They would climb her branches and feel safe in her embrace. The tree stood tall for many generations, surviving countless storms. She was struck by lightning and endured many hardships. Some branches broke off, and she began to lean—but the birds, animals, and people loved her all the same. Even as the other old trees in the forest began to fall and disappear, she remained standing, cherished by all. Then, one cold but sunny winter day, the tree cracked and slowly fell to the ground, he whole forest trembled from the enormous blow. The birds stopped singing, the bees stopped buzzing. And then it was quiet. Of course, it was bound to happen—she was old and weathered—but from that moment on, the forest felt just a little less magical. I have wonderful memories of tante Jeanne. We did not live in the same country but I feel I got to see her often. She laughed a lot - and really loud! Tante Jeanne always seemed so interested in us kids and the feeling was mutual. When the Welter sisters got together, they were so much fun!Although…if am honest as a teenager, they made me feel embarrased. I remember one day visiting the mummies in the church in Wiuwert. There were graves around the church and the sisters started reading - and criticizing - the words on the gravestones out loud, while laughing hysterically. And I tried to act af if I did not know them. As a student, I lived in Ontaria for a year and this is when I really got to know her. Tante Jeanne was always there for me, we had long heart-to-heart conversations about philosophy, family history, religion, politics and more. She was both a second mother and a friend. And we had fun, explosive fun! Playing Scrabble, going to a National Parc, engaging in weird conversations with perfect strangers, ….One day she called over a guy on a snowmobile to tell him he had to let me ride the thing. And he did, of course. Who could refuse her? When my kids were born, tante Jeanne summoned the fairies to bestow upon them unique, precious gifts: imagination, joy, wisdom.… And I feel those gifts were delivered. Tante Jeanne was the kind of person who could make you believe in fairies. She must have befriended them in the magical forest.

A beautiful written obituary for a well deserving lady and dear friend. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her - thoughts and prayers are with all the family. God Bless you Jeanne--love you-Bobby

Sincere condolences on the loss of your wonderful Mom. I had the pleasure of knowing Jeanne while she lived in Colborne. She was always ready to tell a story or joke and we had many a laugh when she would come into the post office to pick up a package. Sometimes, she would just come in to say hello or share a funny story. If you met Jeanne on the street, you could be sure you would be kept talking for awhile!! Keep your memories close and she will always be in your heart. Jeanne will be truly missed by all those who knew her.

To Jeanne’s family Our sincere condolences. Always enjoyed our talks at church, and also at her home in Colborne. A lovely lady. Keeping you in our prayers.
