Jannie enjoyed being an active member of the Nils Board for many years, as well as Knox United Church and the Fort Frances MS Society Self Help Group. She loved her career as a Licensed Practical Nurse at La Verendrye Hospital and although it has been many years since she has been able to work, many of her coworkers still maintained their friendship with her. This wonderful group of women and men will be her honorary pallbearers.
These caring people became Jannie’s friends, who loved her and provided the care and assistance she needed to continue living independently. She was able to accomplish that goal with the support of an amazing team of home care workers over the last 20 years. She insisted that in spite of her failing health, she be allowed to live on her terms, and in her own home. Jannie faced the challenges in her life with a positive attitude and good humour that was truly an inspiration to everyone. Jannie was predeceased by her father, Donald Ball, in 1982 and her mother, Elsie, in 2009. The love and support the three of them were to each other was nothing short of amazing. Twyla Howarth and Josie McLeod were Jannie’s constant companions from early childhood. Jannie is also remembered by her many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins and many friends. She was affectionately known as Granny Jannie to her loving grandchildren, Layla, Rae and Hudson. She will be dearly missed by son, Kevin, and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth her sisters, Linda Bisson (Robert) and Donna Rawluk (Cal) and her brother Richard (Nancy). Janice Ball, mother of Kevin Bobczynski, passed away peacefully at La Verendrye Hospital on Good Friday, April 19, 2019.
