On December 2 ^nd at the age of 74, Jean Desjardins with her family by her side, left for the pearly gates. Greeting her to start the shenanigans is her mom Muriel, dad Ele, brother Lynn, brother-in-law Andy and sister-in-law Jean. Good luck to them all as she will surely be a handful.

She left behind her favorite squabble partner of 54 years, her husband Gerald, her cherished children who will miss the flying muffins, potato salad and remote controls; Darryl Desjardins and Lisa Desjardins. She also leaves her favorite daughter in law Karen.

She now has the time to remember all her grandchildren's birthdays on time, Amber, Autumn, Cameron, Devon, Dylan, and Finleigh.

We will all miss her and her amazing sense of humor but she will be waiting for us on the flip side. Love you mom a.k.a. Mama Jean.

As per her wishes no funeral will take place. A private family get together with laughs and storytelling will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Memory In Miles through the Red Lake Chapel, Box 237, Red Lake, ON P0V 2M0.

REMEMBER ME

Don't remember me with sadness,

Don't remember me with tears,

Remember all the laughter,

We've shared throughout the months.

Now I am contended

That my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing that I passed along the way

I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the street

And you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.

So please don't be unhappy

Just because I'm out of sight,

Remember that I'm with you

Each morning, noon and night.
