LaBARGE, Jeanette Catherine "Jeannie"
1948 -2024
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jeanette Catherine "Jeannie" LaBarge following a courageous journey with cancer at the age of 76.
Jeannie will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Marilyn LaBarge of Edmonton, many cousins and dear close friends.
Jeannie was predeceased by her husband, Phil Grimshaw; her parents, Marvin and Marie (Gau) LaBarge; her sister, Joanne LaBarge and her brother-in-law, Norm Sarofen.
Jeannie was born a leap-year baby in Camrose, Alberta and her school years were in Camrose. She attended Holy Cross Hospital School of Nursing in Calgary and graduated in 1969. She attended the University of Alberta to obtain a B.Sc in Nursing. In 1976 after completing her studies in Edmonton she moved to Victoria on Vancouver Island to work in public health nursing for the rest of her nursing career, retiring in 2003.
Jeannie spoke often of her wonderful and caring friends and neighbours in Port Royale in Brentwood Bay, and wished to thank them for the care and support extended to her during her time in Alberta.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Palliative Care Team, 9Y Edmonton General Hospital, for the compassion and care provided to Jeannie during her stay.
As per Jeannie's wishes a private burial will be held in Camrose.
If you wish, memorial donations may be made in Jeannie's name to the charity of your choice.

Jeanette and I became good friends when we worked together in Public Health Nursing. I have many wonderful memories of our visits and social times together. I will miss her.

It was always my pleasure to work with Jeanette to resolve health concerns of clients we shared through our respective roles at the Saanich Health Unit. She was collaborative, kind, and caring. Sending my sincere condolences to her sister, cousins and close friends.
