Marie Germaine Jacqueline “Cormier” Henwood "Jackie”
May 16, 1949 – Jan. 25, 2026


It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Jackie (of Rocky Mountain House, Alta.) at the age of 76 years on Jan. 25, 2026, at the Red Deer Hospice after a long battle with lung cancer.

Mom, I am so proud of you, all your courage; you fought till the end and you gave it your all.

Jackie was born in Dieppe New Brunswick on May 16, 1949. She was the daughter of Emma (Annie) Leblanc Cormier and Claudius Cormier.
Most of Jackie’s career she worked as a Health Care Aide, which she loved. She was kind, gentle, compassionate and had the biggest heart.
While living in Alberta, she took pride working at Tim Hortons on Gasoline Alley until her retirement. She then moved to Pacquet, Nfld., where she extremely enjoyed the fresh air, the beautiful view of the sea and mother nature around her. This was her second home where she made forever friends.

She enjoyed the outdoors — listening to the birds singing while enjoying her puzzles; she loved sitting on the front deck looking at the flowers, birds, deer, squirrels, bees and especially the butterflies. She always had a smile and a good sense of humour.

She will be sadly missed by her daughter Denise Allain Leblanc (Everett), her son Claude (Julie) Allain, granddaughters Jessica Allain and Caitlyn (Andrew) Hanning (U.S.), a great-grandniece Everly Hanning, her husband Eric Henwood, stepdaughter Diana Henwood (Sask.), stepson Vincent (Kelly) Henwood, and granddaughters Brooklynn and Rhernna Henwood (Alta).

She also leaves a sister Florence Carter from Riverview, N.B.

She was predeceased by sisters Jeannine (Eric) Gautreau and Helene Eagan, brothers Leo (Irma) LeBlanc and Jean-Paul (Carol) Cormier, and two babies: one at six months and one at birth.
