GEANGE, Jessie Doris

(Peacefully, but definitely on her own timetable) on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at Rowena Jackson. The last of Grace and Denis Corkery’s family to return home. A young 96, stubborn, independent, cheeky at times, fiercely loyal to her family and friends, adopted ‘mum’ and ‘granny’ of many, lover of music, and wonderful gardener. Much-cherished wife and life-long friend of Stuart James Geange, deeply loved mother and mother-in-law of Alan (Stuart) and Audrey* Geange, Paul and Heather Geange, Diane and Daryl* Sleeman, and Dawn Geange; proud grandmother and great-grandmother of Wayne, Lisa, Cam, Amber, Sarah, Benjamin, Misharna, Sophie, and Beau. Sister and sister-in-law to Maggie* and Gordon* Nunn, Dennis* and Thelma* Corkery, Alice* and Bob* Batt, Dave* Corkery, Edna* and Doug* McGrath, Mary* and Cyril* White, Alzer* and Les* Gill; sister-in-law of George* and Joyce* Geange. Special friend to all her nieces and nephews. A celebration of Jessie’s life will be held in the Avenal Park Chapel, on Monday, March 13, 2023, at 2.00pm.
