Obituary of Jeanette Strong

Predeceased by her husband Arthur, her youngest daughter Tracy (MacLean), and her parents Matthew and Charlotte McBain. She leaves her beloved daughters Reisa (Thomas) McNabney and Janis (Steven) Heinbuch, who will forever remember their mother's strong will and never-ending fight for a well-lived life. She will be remembered by her son-in-law Michael MacLean; her loving grandchildren, Tara (Brent) Raymond and Dana McNabney, Travis and Trevor MacLean; and her great-granddaughters Mackenzie and Ashleigh Raymond.
