JACQUES: Pauline
Posted By On April 12, 2023 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 16 Comments
Pauline Jacques (Knight) of the Town of Goderich. Just 3 weeks shy of her 87th birthday, passed away at Huron Hospice, on April 12th 2023. She battled a long and courageous fight for 2 years. For anyone who knew her will remember herby her smiles and laughter. She never complained about anything, even in her final days, she always greeted us and said she was fine, even though we knew she wasn’t. She was a very caring wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She always put everyone else first before herself. She was an avid bowler for 49 years having bowled on Monday night ladies leagues many years ago and on Wednesday afternoon leagues in the later years, then the covid pandemic shut everything down. She is survived by her husband Gaetan Jacques of 64 years of marriage. Her children Brian, Cathy, Son in law (Rick Harman). Her sisters Beulah Good, Dorothy Squire, Marie Dobie, Brother in law (Gerry Dobie). Predeceased her are siblings, Elmer Mcwhinney, Harold Knight, William (Bill) Knight and Betty Johnston. She was a very loving grandma and Nan to 3 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She was so excited to hear the news of a 7th great-grandchild expected this summer.
As per Paulines wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family graveside service will take place at a later date.
Interment St. Peters Cemetery. The family would like to say thank you to the following for your care and compassion of Pauline. Dr. Lenehan, Dr. Johnson, the medical staff of the LHSC regional cancer clinic, Dr. Peel and Nurse Practitioner Dan Barsky, Dr. Fitzspatrick of Stratford General, The PSWs from One Care and St. Elizabeths, Palliative care nurse Mellissa and nurse practitioner Kendra, the Nurses on the second floor of the Alexzander Marine and General Hospital and the Medical staff at the Huron Hospice Bender House. Also would like to extend a big Thank you to Pat Healy, Ernie and Patricia Good, Glenna, Sandra, Olive, the Carvers and the many friends of Nelson St. Apts. and area and to her Sisters Marie and Dorothy for the many visits, it always lifted her spirits.

Nana , I hate that our Father has called you back to him cause all of us here still need your hugs and smiles but your time with us has expired and our Father has called you home for bigger adventures so even tho this is good bye for just alittle time I am going to miss ever part of our time we spent together. All the adventures the advice and even the scoldings even tho you hardly got upset with me. (when I was being a brat and we all know you should of). I’ll cherish the moments you had with my Children.

Look down and help guide everyone of your great grandbabies (mine and Lisa’s) for you always will be an Angel here on earth with us all and up in Heaven with Him.

I bowled on the same team as Pauline many years ago. She always was so friendly and welcoming. Even though I was not a very good bowler. RIP Pauline đŸ’•
