JEANNE REPP

Jeanne Repp was born in May, 1946, in New Westminster, BC. The eldest of six siblings, Jeanne loved to hike, ski, swim, and travel. She cherished time with her grandchildren, Mady, Emmett, Toby, and Felix. Jeanne will be deeply missed by her children, Risa (Sam) and Ben Sargent; her brothers, Mike (Romanie) and Allan Repp; her sister, Laurie (John) Rogers; her partner, Gerry Smith; and her extended family and friends. Jeanne graduated from the nursing program at Vancouver's St. Paul's hospital in 1967, attaining a BSc from UBC in 1974 and a Master's from the University of Calgary in 2001. Jeanne worked for most of her life in public health, holding positions in Tsawwassen, BC, Medicine Hat, Banff, and Calgary, AB. Jeanne took a gap year in 1971 to volunteer with Canadian Crossroads International in Ghana. During the 1980s, she was a volunteer for Unisphere Canada. Following retirement in 2018, she volunteered at a community hospital near Huaraz, Peru, and in recent years, she was an active volunteer with the Alberta NDP. Jeanne loved the landscapes of the Canadian Rockies, moving to Banff in 2005 to work at the Banff Mineral Springs Hospital. She lived from then on in the Banff/Canmore area, hiking, ski touring, and building lifelong friendships. Jeanne passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025. Special thanks to Dr. Lloyd Mack and the Foothills Medical Centre nursing staff, who provided her with kindness and dignity in her final weeks.
