Jennie LANGE

O'NEILL (Allan), Jennie Jennie passed away peacefully in St Albert at the age of 92. Jennie is warmly remembered by her six children, Frank Boal (Nina), Ron Boal (Jan), Pat Kinnell (Wayne), Gordon Boal (Anne), David Boal (Julie), and Debbie Hamer (Del); also mourning Jennie's passing are 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. Jennie was predeceased by husbands Frank Boal (1967) Les Allan (1982), Ray O'Neill (1999) and daughter-in-law Agnes Boal (1996). Jennie was born in Winnipeg in 1917, the middle child of three Lange sisters. She met her first husband Frank at the age of fourteen and married as a young woman of 19. Over the course of raising her family of six children she lived in Winnipeg, Lethbridge, Calgary and for the last 36 years Jennie has been a resident of St. Albert, the community she most loved. An enthusiastic community participant, she received the St Albert Citizen of the Year Award in 1980 in recognition of her many hours of volunteer service in elder care and veterans affairs. For the past nine years, Jennie was a resident of Mission Hills Village, where she truly enjoyed sharing wonderful times with some of her nearest and dearest friends. There she continued to be an active community participant by leading the choir, maintaining the Jennie O'Neill Rose Garden and chairing a number of committees. We are happy to know that until her last three months she led an independent life filled with the love of friends and family. The family would like to thank the staff and physicians of the Youville Home for their care and compassion. Special thanks to Dr. Leon Lefebrve for his skill and kindness and for including Jennie in every decision during her final journey. The family also thanks Dr. Harvey Albrecht as Jennie's family physician for over 30 years for his continuing support. Jennie's Memorial Service will be held at St Matthews Anglican Church, 125 Larose Drive, St Albert on October 22, at 2:00 p.m. Friends are welcome to join the family at the service as well as at the Celebration of Life which will be held immediately following at Mission Hills Village, 78 McKenney Avenue, St Albert. Internment will be in Calgary at a later date. Jennie loved flowers and these are welcome, however, if you so wish memorial donations would be gratefully received by either the Youville Home (Grey Nuns) of St Albert, or a charity of your choice.
