In Loving Memory of Jeannine Kelly (née Deschênes)

May 16, 1944 - Sep 19, 2026

The family announces with sorrow her passing in Ottawa on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the age of 82 years old.

Daughter of the late Alphonse and Marie-Laure (née Proulx) Deschênes. Loving mother of Claude St-Germain (Nathalie) of Ottawa and cherished grand-mother of Nicholas, Kaytlyn, Jennifer and Raymond. Dear sister of Sr. Lucille (f.d.l.s.) of Montreal, Aimé of Hanmer. Predeceased by her siblings Carmen of Elliot Lake (late Mike), Jacqueline of Hanmer (late Achille), Guy of Windsor (Donna), Jean-Paul of Meaford (late Diane), Germain of Hanmer (Nancy), Alcide of Hanmer and Michel of Sudbury (late Willa).

The family would like to thank the Ottawa General Hospital doctors, nurses and personal support workers for the care provided to Jeannine during her stay with them.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Donations to the Dementia Society of Ottawa would be appreciated.
