Obituary of Lillian "Ginette" Jarvis (nee Mercier)

JARVIS, Lillian "Ginette" (nee Mercier) March 13, 1941 - May 13, 2021 It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Ginette Jarvis, surrounded by her loving family at the age of 80. She was a loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and a dear friend to many. Welcomed into heaven by her parents Honore (1971) and Yvonne (1974) Mercier. Predeceased by her first husband James "Jimmy" McQueen (1967) and more recently her late husband of nearly 40 years George Jarvis (2020). Wonderful mother of Daryld McQueen (Jackie) and stepmother of Michelle St. Amour (Tim) and Michael Jarvis (Katarina). She leaves behind 4 beautiful granddaughters that were the light of her life: Sarah St. Amour, Madeline McQueen, Taylor McQueen and Rylee Dugas. Her love for them was boundless and she took great joy in their accomplishments. You could always tell when one of her granddaughters were near for the ever-present smiles they brought to her face. Dear sister of Joseph Mercier (the late Vera). Predeceased by her brother Marquis, Guy, Marshall, Gilles and her beloved sister Jeanne. Dear sister-in-law of Bill Jarvis (the late Dianne) and Greg Jarvis (Mary Anne). Also survived by many nieces and nephews who were dear to her heart, especially John, Janice, Jim and Cathy Kaschak. She will also be missed and lovingly remembered by several lifelong friends. Ginette retired from the University of Windsor where she worked for over 20 years in the Leddy Library. Providing assistance to the students and professors from U-Windsor has always been a source of pride and satisfaction for her. A special thank you to the staff of Sunrise Senior Living Windsor as well as the wonderful staff at Hospice of Windsor Essex for their love and care they showed to her in her last months of life. She was truly surrounded by angels in her final days. In lieu of flowers, donation to the Hospice of Windsor Essex or the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. As per Ginette's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to SIMPLE CHOICE (Dougall) 519-254-2585.
