Obituary

MALONE, Jennifer Lynn (Tourand)…

At Victoria Hospital, London, on Saturday, March 2, 2013, Jennifer Malone passed away in her 55th year. Beloved daughter of Irene Taylor. Loving sister of Aimee Lacelle. Dear sister-in-law of Ron Lacelle. Cherished aunt and godmother of Bean a.k.a Hailey. Predeceased by her father Morley Tourand and Al Kochylema. Where to start! Jenny, as we called her, was an extraordinary person. Intelligent; graduated (cum laude) Ottawa University, then to Saint Mary’s University for her masters in Psychology. Creative: made and sold her own soaps at Covent Garden and Western Fair Farmer’s Markets, hand quilter, spinner and knitter, Métis Beading (she was very proud of her heritage), fantastic parties for Hailey – there is nothing she couldn’t do – so she told us. Except, she could not beat cancer but she tried so hard for seven long years. She took every treatment available and volunteered for experimental trials both in London and Princess Margaret Hospital Toronto- often getting up at 4 AM to catch a bus. She was a fighter. What hurt more than cancer was the discrimination and insensitivity by both her workplace and some general public to her baldness, weight gain and weakness all due to her treatment. Jennifer also served in Canada’s Reserve Forces going from Pte to Personnel Selection Officer. Special thanks to Dr Stephen Welsh and Dr Marie Parent of LRCC, in whom she had complete trust, Bonnie, Dr Phillippe Bedard (PMH) and Vi Lacelle for her baking (sometimes the only thing she could eat).

    I was saddened to learn that Jen had passed. I worked with Jen for a number of years. She was a very unique person, from her love of her family, her decorating skills, her willingness to do the trials in the hopes of helping others along the way. I will remember her for her bravery as she fought and unfortunately lost the battle of this horrible disease.

    I want to send my love and prayers to the family, Irene, Aimee, Ron and Hailey.
    Jenny will be greatly missed. She was always smiling and such a great fighter. It will not be the same without her.
    Love always
    Christine and Matt Clements.

    Jennifer was a caring person. She was my friend. Jennifer shared herself to the world. She was not afraid to be herself. Let’s hope that humanity changes for the better and continues to give people like Jennifer the recognition and respect that is deserved.

    My heartfelt condolsences to Irene, Aimee and all of Jenn’s family on her passing ! I guess God required another Angel, so, He carried her home.
    A Rose once grew where all could see,sheltered beside a garden wall, And as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches straight and tall…One day , a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide- The rose bent gently towards its warmth then passed beyond to the other side.
    Jim…God Bless!

    To Jenny’s Mother, sister Aimee brother in law Ron and Bean. I am sure words cannot express or comfort you at this time. But I would like to express to you how lucky I was to know her and call her my friend. Her love her of her family and friends, her little red Miada, Halloween and bulldogs and especially her smile when she talked about Bean, and everytime you saw her!!! These memeories will remain in my heart, and she will be remembered for the heart of a true warrior. Which she selflessly gave for future sufferers.
    I will miss her greatly.
    I wish her family all the best, and may memories of her bring you comfort.

    Jen, I am so proud of you honbey. I’m proud too that you adopted me as a big sister. Many talks we had about your illness and I told you exactly how I would feel when the time came for you to “Walk On”. Well my heart has a huge hole in it now as you took part of it with you my lil sister, and I have shed lots of tears. But I am happy you are no longer suffering and in the great pain you were in before. But I miss you and that dear little voice and hearing your “ahy” Remember how tickled you’d get when I said it too, lol. God knows I miss you little Turtle. I only wish I could have been beside you when you left this earth for Better Places, to be with Creator. I could have held your hand as you went to be with Him. So rest well sweetheart, you are always in my thoughts, and heart. Forever your adopted Big Sister,
    Sherry…Rest well little onexoxo
