WOOD, Bertha “Jeane”

With great sadness we announce the passing of Mom, (Nanna) at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Friday, August 2, 2019. We miss her terribly but are grateful she is at peace.
Jeane is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Libby (Jim); grandchildren, Raeleen, Erin (Ryan) and Bryan (Rachel); and great grandson, Braxton; adopted grandson, John and special friend, John. She was predeceased by her husband, Stan; son, Tom; parents and siblings.
A Private Graveside Service will be held at a future date. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta, Suite 100, 119 – 14 Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1Z6.
Don’t Grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of the day.
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now; He set me free.

Hello Libby, I don’t know if you remember me, but I was the healthcare aide student that looked after your mom at Bethany in May of this year. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a sweet lady. She truly had an impact on me and confirmed that I wanted to be an HCA. ❤️
So sorry to hear of Jeane’s Passing, our deepest sympathy! Gerry worked with Stan for many years at Babine Forest products and Jeane was the love of Stan’s life. We stayed in touch over the years and because Gerry and Tom’s birthdays were so close together we often celebrated with them and Jeanne remembered to send a card for Gerry’s birthday for many many years! We called her fondly “Mom” and she called Gerry “Son”. She will be greatly missed!
