January 8, 1954 - February 5, 2022
In Loving Memory ~
Jonelle passed away on Saturday, February 5th in Calgary, Alberta. Her family will miss her deeply, but we are relieved that she is at rest after a very difficult period of illness.
Jonelle was born January 8, 1954, to Bruce and Cay Jorundson in Flin Flon, Manitoba. She spent her childhood and high school years there.
John and Jonelle were married in 1975. They spent much of their life together in Manitoba where their son Andrew was born, while living on their treasured land in Ninette.
Jonelle was a lifelong member of the United Church. In 2004 she was called to leave her accounting career to become a United Church minister. She held postings in Alberta, BC and Scotland before retiring in 2018.
Many things brought Jonelle joy. She loved being a mother to Andrew and stepmother and grandmother to John's children and their kids. She reveled in a good game of cribbage, a puzzle and drives in the country.
She is survived by her husband of 47 years John; her mother Cay; brother Devon (Donna); sister Michelle; son Andrew (Suki); stepchildren Colin (Heather); Andrea (Andrey); Lochlin; Jordan (Paige); grandchildren; Ashley, Devon, Taylor, Lucy, Elizabeth and Kimberly; Nieces; Cora and Naomi as well as extended family.
Jonelle was predeceased by her father Bruce.
A celebration of Jonelle's life will be held in Calgary in August. Contributions in memory of Jonelle may be made to the General Fund, St. Andrew's College, 1121 College Drive, Saskatoon, SK, Canada, S7N 0W3
