BERKELEY, Jeanne (née Stevenson) With the greatest sorrow family and dear friends of Jeanne Berkeley announce her passing on Wednesday, October 17, 2018.
Jeanne was a caring, fun loving and generous person who faced her battle with brain cancer bravely. Her commitment to both conventional and naturopathic treatment paths and her strong faith helped Jeanne during her 26 month journey. Her love for her husband Rennick and her children, James, Tamara (Dakota), Rennick, Alexander and Mary was without bounds. Jeanne loved her children more than anything else in the world. In their life’s journey, Jeanne will be forever in their hearts.
Jeanne adored her extended family. Her many friends walked side by side with Jeanne over this difficult time and there are no words to represent how much this unwavering support was appreciated by Jeanne and her family. Those feeling her loss include Jeanne’s parents, Tom and Lorraine Stevenson, sister Kathy, brothers Jaff (Cindy) and Bob (Suzanne), in-laws, Jeanette (David) and Oswald (Sandra), brother- in-law Russ (Virginia), Dawn Anne (Rich), Shawna, Haylee (Sadie Jeanne, Brody), Stacey, Karen, Sterling, Alicia, and many dear nieces and nephews (Tristan, Avlyn, Iain, Liam, Foster, Daniel, Andrew and Kira) along with granddaughter, Abigail.
