The devoted mother and caregiver, Nancy, was born in Montreal on August 12, 1940. During her childhood, she lived in Montreal, Quebec as well as locations in Eastern Ontario. In High School attended St. Helen's where she was captain of the basketball team and an excellent student. On July 23, 1960, she married Dr. Allan B. Jardin. Over the years they had 8 children. Lovingly, "Mrs. J" supported and encouraged her children and grandchildren through the hectic schedule of school, competitive swimming and baseball. Nancy was always actively involved using her amazing talent for organization and creativity wherever she went. Nancy also worked alongside Allan in the Outremont dental office for many years, where she continued to give to others, caring for each and every patient until Allan's retirement. Never one to stay still, Miss Nancy then worked at St. Ignatius of Loyola Elementary School for five years, bringing her great joy by contributing to the school life of the children. Grandy was always happiest surrounded by others, especially her 18 grandchildren; all of whom she loved and nurtured as one of her own. Though departed from our presence, the memory of her warmth, generosity, creativity and endless kindness will live on forever. She was a true angel who will be deeply missed. Blessed are those who knew her. May she rest peacefully in the arms of God. Published in the Montreal Gazette on 8/12/2008
