Condolences for the family may be directed to Eulogy It is with great sadness that the family of Jennie Elliott announces her passing on October 18, 2013 at the Battlefords Union Hospital. Jennie was born June 21, 1935 to Lena and Metro Billy in North Battleford. She grew up in Hatherleigh, SK with her younger sister, Helen. Jennie married Gene Elliott on May 3, 1958. Six years later they were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Karen. Two years later came the birth of their son, Darren. Jennie worked at Turner-Warwick Printers as a composition supervisor for 39 years. After retirement, Jennie spent most of her time with her family and friends. She enjoyed being at the lake and volunteering at the BUH and Wellness Clinic. Jennie was kind hearted. You could see it in her eyes and the softness in her voice. Her world revolved around her family as she loved them unconditionally. She was more than a sister, mother and grandmother, she was a best friend. To her sister, Helen, she was the one Helen looked up to. Jennie had a way with words that gave Helen comfort. She was always there when needed. As sisters, they laughed and cried together. They loved each other unconditionally - they were best friends. Jennie enjoyed spending time with Helen and her family at their farm, especially at harvest time. To her children- Karen and Darren- she was the first person to love them. The first face they recognized was hers. It was her soft eyes that watched over their first days and nights. It was her smile that inspired their own. It was her love that shaped the love that they have for others. To her grandchildren- Ashley, Colby, Brennan and Jennifer- she was affectionately called Nana. Their Nana was loving, caring, compassionate, generous and loyal. Nana never judged them but, instead encouraged them to follow their dreams and strive for more. Nana was a big impact in their lives. Nana was never too busy. She always had time for her grandchildren and never grew tired of listening to them. Nana will always have a special place in their hearts. Jennie enjoyed hosting her extended family and friends. Her special place was at the family cabin at Turtle Lake, where she spent her summers. Jennie's last happy moments were spent with her family at the cabin before going back into the hospital. Jennie wanted her family to remember her for the love she had for them all. The message she left for her family and friends is to love one another and stay close.
