Janine Delage Obituary
Janine took great pride in her work as Clinical Research Coordinator at the University of Minnesota Medical Center where she has worked since 2004, putting her skills and empathy to good use in clinical and drug trial administration.
Janine had many interests and was sure to have a smile on her face and to put one on your face. Janine loved reading books, dancing, singing, and theater. She enjoyed listening to live music and always tried to catch some of her favorite artists when they came into town. Her cats, Norman and Freddie, gave her great pleasure and she made their lives a joy. Janine loved to give back to her community and her years in White Bear Lions enabled that passion. She enjoyed spending time with her family at the lake. Her many dear friends were the center of her social life and she gave and received much support from them. Most of all she loved her family and friends and the time they spent together. She was the best aunt to her many nieces and nephews.
Janine is survived by her father, Don of White Bear Lake, MN; siblings, Carol Delage of Santa Fe, NM, Sue (John) Hastings of Wyoming, MN, Nancy (Tim) Huber of Lino Lakes, MN, Alan (Dawn) Delage of Coon Rapids, MN, Jane (Rick) Eisch of Maple Grove, MN; nieces and nephews, John Jr (Taylor) Hastings, Jeremy (Meredith) Hastings, Jacque Hastings, Becky Hastings, Josh Hastings, Jessie Huber, Abby (Alex) Rank, Jake Huber, Jana (Evan) Forsberg, James Delage, Matt Delage, Marie Delage, Alex Eisch, and Juliana Eisch; 7 great nieces and nephews.
Janine was preceded in death by her mother, Deloris; her grandparents; several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Janine was such a good friend to many. She reached out when my Mom died and was always willing to support and that always meant so much to me. God bless you Janine!

Janine was easily one of my best friends. For the last 24 years she's stood by my side through major life events: graduation, my wedding, moving across country. She was the kindest person I'd ever met, unselfish and caring. She'll be in my heart forever. Rest with angels, Janine. - Martii

Janine is my cousin and just a few years younger than me. I visited with her when our families got together but not typically outside of that. Although we had quite a distance in visiting between us, I always enjoyed talking with her and catching up when we did see eachother. She was always, as everyone has said, with a smile on her face. I could recognize the love she had for family and the joy she had for life. I pray she is at peace and in her mother's loving arms. May she rest in peace and her family and friends be given the strength to grieve. Take care Janine. Love, Jina

I have *NSYNC to thank for bringing Janine into my life. We met in the spring of 2000 and immediately clicked as friends. We shared a bond that would not be broken for 24 years -- she was like the sister I never had. We traveled to Philadelphia to see *NSYNC only a few months after meeting, and that was the beginning of our beautiful friendship. I will carry with me the memories of our countless Bon Jovi and boy band concerts, yearly visits to the Minnesota State Fair, girls trips to new cities, theme park trips (especially Disneyland), and sharing our thrills and angst over the ups and downs of the Minnesota Vikings. Janine was the kindest, most unselfish human who gave everything and never expected anything in return. Most of all, I will miss her bubbly spirit, infectious giggle and sparkle. *RIP my dear sweet friend. I love you forever..* - Kelly

I met Janine when I moved to LA. We were introduced by our mutual friend, Kelly. I was fresh out of college and made the big move. Once there, I realized how lonely I was and missed my family and friends back in MN. Janine and I connected over that. But she and Kelly took me out and showed me the sites and helped me get acclimated. We shared some great moments together, including some gut-busting, laugh-out-loud moments (lots of them), and I thank God and Kelly for introducing Janine into my life. She was truly a dear friend and will be missed.

Janine, you were a lot of fun in college - thank you for being our driver as we skipped out on a few classes one day to go see THE JOEY MCINTYRE!! at the MOA. OMG it was such fun! Your smile and laughter lite up the room and I hope we continue to remember that about you and strive to be like you in that way. Until we meet again; rest in peace. Kate 'Corcoran' Cheramy

I truly enjoyed working with Janine on the WBL Lions shows as a director and vocalist. She had a positive approach to rally the troops and was open to feedback and suggestions. Janine, Noreen and me were the "Eene" singers. I have a lot of fond memories. Janine you will be missed. Rest in peace. Darlene Z
