Jeanne Grace Carroll was a treasure, a beautiful shiny jewel. 95 years of age, married nearly 73 years, beloved wife of Robert George Carroll, mother to Jennifer Walker (nee Carroll, m.Bruce Walker) and Deborah Carroll (m.William Menzel), grandmother and great grandmother. Jeanne passed away with family present after a short few hours in palliative at Memorial Hospital, St. Marys, buried at Maitland Cemetery, Goderich. Jeanne will be remembered as a seamstress, cook, singer, golfer, friend, but mostly as one who deeply loved her husband and family. Her cheerfulness was felt by all who knew her.

Dear Bob and family,
What a delight it was to know Jeanne. Her great smile will always be remembered as well as her infectious laugh. She was a very kind, gentle woman. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and strength knowing she is with her Lord and Saviour. “May the peace of God which transcends all understanding, [will] guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)

Bob, Debbie, Jennifer and Families:
We are so sorry for your loss, and we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Jeanne was such a great friend for such a long time – since we first met Bob and Jeanne in London in the mid-70’s, then on to Kitchener, Barrie and Goderich. Yes, she was a “treasure”, with a infectious laugh and smile. I (Ruth) enjoyed many days of golfing with Jeanne in those early years. We will forever hold fond memories of the last time we saw her, and Bob, Debbie, Bill, family and friends, at their 70th Anniversary celebration in Goderich a few years ago. Blessings to you all.
Ruth & Gord Johnson. (Ottawa)

We knew Grandma as a warm, engaged, outgoing lady with a ready laugh and a great sense of humour, and always impeccably put-together. She kept a comfortable, gracious home, and was a natural hostess, which her extended family enjoyed at every gathering she hosted over many years. We’ll never her & Grandpa welcoming Alli to live with them in Barrie for several months during a university internship; just one of many instances of Grandma’s generosity in her long life. Her love for her family and friends, and especially for Grandpa was apparent, and she was always a very positive person. We miss her very much.

It was always such a delight to visit with and worship with Jeanne and Bob. We here in Barrie at Covenant Christian Reformed Church certainly were blessed by their fellowship and witness. Jeanne’s ready smile and welcome laughter were sparkles in any visit with them. As her pastor, I will remember her gracious as a host, her delight in the Lord! And what a testimony to faithfulness and joy in marriage! She has not gone from us, but ahead of us. “… and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17b
