Lenore Jauquet

CHANNING - Lenore M. "Lee" Jauquet, 82, of 845 Railroad Ave. in Channing, died Friday, Nov. 23, 2007, at the Beverly Living Center in Florence, Wis. Lenore was born July 4, 1925, in Channing, daughter of the late Edwin and Mary (Duffena) Roell. She graduated from Channing High School in 1943 and was a lifelong resident of the area. Lenore married Herbert "Hub" Jauquet on Oct. 30, 1943, in Channing. They recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. She was a member of St. Rose Catholic Church in Channing. Lenore loved spending time at home surrounded by her family and enjoying her many hobbies. She inherited her mother's love of fabric and design spending many hours sewing. As a young wife, Lenore relied on her mother-in-law, Josephine, for sewing guidance. Gardening brought her into her yard during the summer months while sewing and interior decorating occupied her winters. Lenore will be remembered as a kind woman who always looked forward to celebrating her July 4th birthdays when family would gather. She was incredibly strong, having survived cancer at age 39 and other illnesses along the way. Her husband was devoted to her, traveling 80 miles almost every day to visit her in the nursing home where Lenore spent the last 20 months of her life. She passed away as quietly as she lived, surrounded by loving family. She will be deeply missed. She is survived by her husband, Hub; two sons, Herbert Jr. (Patricia) Jauquet of Kingsford and Michael (Laurie) Jauquet of Channing; three daughters, Mary Lenore Tassava of Hancock, Barbara (Greg) Kalinoski of Thief River Falls, Minn. and Roberta (James) Kluskens of Niagara, Wis.; three sisters-in-law, Imogene Roell, Gerry Bushman and Marion Finger; three brothers-in-law, Joe (Betty) Jauquet, Clem (Shirley) Jauquet and Jim (Joyce) Jauquet; 12 grandchildren; four great-granddaughters; several nieces and nephews; and a special lifelong friend, Donna Copeland. Lenore was preceded in death by a son, Patrick; two brothers, Robert and Clarence Roell; and two sisters-in-law, Agnes Roell and Katie Flaherty. Visitation will be Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at St. Rose Catholic Church in Channing. Funeral services will follow at 12 noon at the church. Fr. Dick Mroz and Fr. Chris Gardiner will con-celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial. Burial will be in Channing Cemetery.
