In Celebration of

Jeanne Maxine Pallett

November 20, 1917 -  September 29, 2017

Having lived a wonderful life, it is with mixed emotions that we announce she made her exit, as was her wish, from this world on Friday, September 29, 2017, at Trillium Health Centre-Mississauga Site just short of her 100th birthday. Survived by her daughter Sandra Lynn Jenkins and her husband Bill, son William John Pallett and his partner Charlie (Corrado), granddaughter Kimberly of New Orleans, grandson Cameron and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her brothers John and Bill Mutter and sister Helen Eaton (nee Mutter). Jeanne was a native of Brandon, Manitoba and daughter of Helen & John Mutter who homesteaded Brandon establishing one of the small cities original grocery stores which today is now in the Daly Museum and designated as a historic site by the province of Manitoba. One of the few women of the time, Jeanne graduated in the 1930’s from Brandon College, now Brandon University, with her degree. On the advice of her brother John she moved to Toronto to seek a career in business having worked with Halifax Insurance and United Cigar Stores and enjoying Friday evening on the Park Plaza’s Rooftop Lounge with friends. Always a social being Jeanne met her husband Ken on a blind date in Port Credit, Ontario and soon became his partner and wife in life moving to Dixie, now considered a part of Mississauga. She became active in the small apple farming community and participated in the Dixie Curling Club, St. John’s Anglican Church, South Peel Hospital (now the Trillium Health Centre), and later in life the Brampton Golf & Country Club. Jeanne and Ken travelled extensively enjoying many winters in Jamaica, Barbados, Hawaii, Florida and as a widow Palm Springs, California. She will be forever remembered true to her favourite song “Unforgettable”. The family wishes to thank the wonderful team at AMICA City Centre in Mississauga, Jeanne’s home for the last several years and the team at the Trillium Health Centre.

We were so sorry to hear the sad news. Jean was a princess among women and always so kind and perfectly dressed. We will miss her and her lovely pink and blue outfits.

So sorry, our thoughts are with you all at this time,

My relationship with Jeanne was always offerred to her as a thanks for giving me such a wonderful friend in Bill. I know it is no accident that the goodness I find in people comes from their upbringing. I received many hand written cards from her over the years and I have them all. She was so good at writing these and I will cherish them always. My heart goes out to your family at such a difficult time. She is a great inspiration to us all.
Love Brenda

Dearest Bill,
Both Paul and I are so sorry for the passing of your beloved Mom. Our deepest sympathy to you, Charlie, Sandra, Bill and the kids. I have such wonderful memories of the times we spent with both your Mom and Dad, over Thanksgivings and Christmases. What fun and laughter we had! Your Mom was such a lady, a loving Mom and always a gracious hostess to all of us. May the many memories of her, comfort you and give you strength. Thinking of you, Much Love, Marci and Paul
