Jeanne Brautbar

In Loving Memory

Jeanne Eva Brautbar

Beloved Wife, Mother, Sister,
and Grandmother

To Those I Love and To Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love and you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part,
So bless the memories that lie within your heart.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see me or touch me, I’ll be near,

And if you listen with your heart,
You’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."

Jeanne Eva Brautbar
“Nana”

August 11, 1944 – July 4, 2016

Jeanna Brautbar was born on August 11, 1944 in the town of Hull,
Province of Quebec, Canada.

She was the seventh of eight children born to Anais & Alan
Comeaux. The day she left us here on earth, she was greeted in heaven by her
parents, her sisters, Francoise & Jacqueline and her brothers Pierre &
Jacques.
She met Bertrand Brautbar in the spring of 1961 when she was 17. It was
“love at first sight” and she married him on December 26, 1961. Thus began
their 55 year journey together.

On December 27, 1964, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter
named Nicole. On September 11, 1966 she gave birth to her second child, a
daughter named Lise, and on March 31, 1972 she gave birth to her third
child, a son named Marcel.

In September of 1973 Jeanne & Bertrand moved their family to
New Tork. This was a very courageous move for her as she left behind her
home, family & her “native” language as well.

She was a homemaker who worked alongside her husband helping
him build his business. She did this in a whole new language that she could
barely speak let alone read & write. But succeed she did, she knew no
boundaries.

To her new friends, to know Jeanne was to love her.
She loved a good laugh, she was no-nonsense, vibrant person who
became your best friend the minute you met her. She loved Elvis, Tom Jones,
Bingo, Gambling, and horse races. She was a naturally “lucky” person.
She loved being a mom, but really blossomed when she became a
grandmother. She is “Nana” to Stephanie, Shawna, Stefan, Josh,
Danielle & Samantha and 3 years ago became great “Nana” to Madison.
Jeanna is survived by her loving husband Bertrand, her three
children, Nicole, Lise, and Marcel, her daughter in law, Trish, her sons in
law, Scott and Tim, her grandchildren, her sister Gabrielle, her two brothers
Royal and Andre, and everyone else who knew and loved her. May she live
on in our hearts forever…
