Fay passed away on September 21st, 2019 at the Davidson Health Center surrounded by her loving family. Fay was born on September 20, 1948 in Delisle, Saskatchewan. Her family moved to Davidson in her Grade 12 year. She married John B. McJannet on November 20th, 1968. John and Fay raised three children (John M, Greg and Correne) on the family farm north of Davidson.
Fay was very involved in many organizations including the Women’s Institute, the Figure Skating club and the local Musical Festival committee. She supported the farm, her children’s activities and always found time for family. Fay worked for Gordon Taylor at his clothing store before opening her own sewing/fabric store in Davidson which she operated until her Multiple Sclerosis no longer allowed her to do so.
Fay spent the last twelve years living at the Davidson Health Care center where she received excellent care from all of the staff. She spent countless hours in her last few years being with family, attending her grandchildren’s sporting, arts and musical events. She took frequent day trips with her husband to the city, to the casino, to the farm and following her busy grandchildren around. She valued family, education, reading, writing and journaling. She valued family above all else.
She is survived by her loving husband John B McJannet; Son John M (Susan) and children Aiden, Elise and Liam; Son Gregory (Shannon) and children Hannah and Ben and daughter Correne and her children Taylei, Keeley and Trystan.
