Memorial Service for Janyce Lauer
It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear colleague Jan Lauer on May 29, 2024. Close to 40 years of dedicated service as Recreation Supervisor for seniors, Jan has been an iconic figure in our community, bringing joy, commitment, and well-being to the seniors in our Town.
A memorial service for Jan will be held on Friday, June 28 at 14:00 at Mount Royal United Church, located at 1800 boul. Graham. You are invited to come and pay your final respects.
Jan was much more than an employee, she was a pillar in our community.
Her career was marked by a multitude of programs and activities designed to meet the varied needs and interests of our seniors. During this time of mourning, we remember with gratitude Jan's many contributions to our community including the launch of the Identification booklets in 2014 for seniors in Mount Royal and Outremont in which she was proudly recognized at the National Assembly of Québec and by the Montreal Police Department.
Jan also initiated and was responsible for a number of programs and activities such as "See me! Respect Me!" for Elder Abuse Awareness, the Craft fair, Holiday Lunch, the Seniors lounge, Strawberry Social, the Golden Circle and numerous outings and excursions catered to our seniors. Her passion and warm presence forged a special bond with everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her unwavering dedication, boundless kindness, and legacy of compassion will continue to inspire and guide us as we work towards the well-being and happiness of our seniors. May her memory remain etched in our hearts forever. We would like to express our deepest condolences to her loved ones.
Her colleagues from the Recreation, Culture and Community Activities Department team, the Council Members and all of the Town Personnel.
