JEAN ALICE FOLEY
The
Foley family is mourning the loss of our beloved mother and grandmother, Jean
Alice Foley, on Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Grandma Jean was the heart of our
family. She taught her nine children and 15 grandchildren to live well sharing
her wisdom, spirituality, inner strength, and tremendous capacity for love and
forgiveness. She kept old friends close
and welcomed new friends as family.
Mom
loved books and music. A bright and intelligent woman, she kept newspaper
articles and recipes to share with loved ones, listened to CBC Radio and
followed politics and current affairs.
She lived a full life with her 'kids and cats and dogs' and found
beauty, inspiration and joy in nature, her greenhouse, and the family
cottage. A talented lady, she put her
artistic abilities to work creating a welcoming home, a tranquil garden and
preparing food that was as delicious to see as it was to eat . Many of her homemade birthday cakes were
decorated with her garden flowers. Her cinnamon buns, crab apple jelly, peach
jam, and chocolate cakes were legendary. Family Sunday dinners were one of her
greatest delights.
Grandma
Jean lived independently until the last two years of her life. The family is
grateful for the professional and loving care she received from staff at Home
Care, at Misericordia Health Centre and Deer Lodge Centre, Lodge 7. The family extends its sincerest thanks to
all who helped her during her final years.
Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated
on Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in Blessed John XXIII Roman Catholic
Church/Assiniboine Christian Centre, 3390 Portage Avenue with Rev. Fr. Gerald
Langevin and Rev. Msgr. Stanislaw Jaworski, presiding. Interment will be held
at a later date.
