Jeanette Belanger

    Jeanette was born July 9th 1927, on the family farm at Carmichael Saskatchewan, to Lincoln and Hazel Mace.  She attended Carmichael rural school and in her younger years she enjoyed ball games, card games and later dances. This is where she met her first husband Jesse Bird and they were blessed with 2 children, Gordon and Eileen.

    In 1960 she moved with her children to work for a farmer at Foam Lake. Later she moved her family to Preeceville where she worked for Mr. Rosaasen. In Preeceville she met Louis Borgen and they were together until his passing. Jeanette worked as janitor at the TD Bank for 25 years as well she cleaned at the Golden West Hotel and the Preeceville Motel. She was always a hard-working lady doing her very best to make a good home for her Gordon and Eileen.

    After Louis passing, she met Lawrence Belanger and they were married April 4, 1998. This was a perfect match as Lawrence loved to do the garden and Jeanette loved her flowers and always had large baskets of petunias and begonias. She would spend hours deadheading and watering them so they would look their very best.

    They enjoyed traveling with Eileen and Wayne to Reno, Las Vegas and Vancouver. In 2003 Eileen passed away leaving a huge hole in her heart, but she managed to keep going.

    Lawrence and her loved to visit and had many trips to Reserve to visit friends.
