While teaching in the Violette Settlement she met and fell in love with Camille Dennis Caron. They married in 1941 and had eight children. Her first daughter, Danielle Jeannine, predeceased her at age five in 1951; her husband at age 84 in 2001. She was also predeceased by three brothers and three sisters, Ludger Toussaint, Rose Toussaint, Dr. Leonid Toussaint, Sr. Ann Marie Toussaint, Juliette Kirk, and Paul Toussaint.
Jeanne is survived by her sister, Theresa Henderson of Manchester, Conn.; two daughters and five sons, Paul Caron and his wife, Pauline, of Terryville, Conn., Jack Caron and his wife, Linda, of Sinclair, Maurice Caron and wife, Anita, of Pinellas Park, Fla., Bill Caron and wife, Sandra, of Fort Kent, Jeannine Toussaint of San Francisco, Calif., Anne LeBlanc and her husband, Jean, of Fort Kent, Peter Caron and wife, Grace, also of Fort Kent; 16 grandchildren (and another on the way); 11 great-grandchildren; and scores of nieces and nephews.
Throughout her life, she volunteered for the March of Dimes, the American Heart Association, and other non-profit organizations. She was a member of the Maine Right to Life Committee and Ladies of St. Anne. Jeanne loved to write, and was a reporter for the St. John Valley Times in her early years. Later, many of her letters were published in the St. John Valley Times and the Bangor Daily News. Friends and family members cherish the many personal letters she wrote during quiet late night hours. When a benign familial tremor eventually rendered writing impossible, she concentrated upon her lifelong love of books, and remained an avid reader until two weeks before her death.
On Friday morning, May 27, a wake will be held from 9 a.m. at Daigle & Nadeau Funeral Home in Fort Kent, followed by an 11 a.m. Mass at St. Louis Church. Jeanne's ashes will be buried in St. Louis Cemetery. (Bangor Daily News 5/25/2005)
