Maniquet, Jean Vera
On October 5th, 2009 at 6:50 pm, Jean passed into the arms of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Dearly missed by her husband Robert (“Texâ€) Maniquet of Angus, sons Robert (Dody) of Winchester Ontario, Roland (Sheila) of Barrie Ontario and Scott (Carol) of Toronto, grandchildren Keri, Emily and Christopher. Survived by her sister Dorothy Hannah (Ron) of White Rock B.C., sister Anna Billingsley of London Ontario, sister Judy Sauve (Mike) of Hawkesbury, Ontario. Survived by her brothers Bill Palmquist (Joan) of London Ontario, Don Palmquist (Maureen) of Elliot Lake Ontario. Predeceased by her parents Bernard and Elizabeth (Betty) Palmquist and sister Elsa. She will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews and special family member Judy Frew. Jean was a long-time employee of Base Borden where she started as a telephone operator in 1972 and continued to work at the Information Centre at CFSATE prior to her illness. She was also very active in the Hi-Way Church where she worshipped with Tex for over 30 years.
Jean was a people person and never hesitated to lend a hand or give encouragement to anyone in need. Her love of people was second only to her love for her family and for her Saviour. A special thank you to the Nursing Staff at 3 North B at the RVH. Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home in Barrie. Visitation will be held at the Hi-Way Pentecostal Church located at 50 Anne Street North in Barrie on Friday October 9, 2009 at 11:30 am until time of service in the church at 1:00pm.
