Anne Jobin

Anne Jobin, beloved partner of Bob (Robert) Algie, passed away from metastatic colon cancer on Thursday, November 20, 2014 in Ottawa, Ontario. Born on April 18, 1951 and raised in Québec City; she spent most of her adult life in Ottawa.

Daughter of late Bruno Jobin and Jeanne Ouellet, and sister of late Raymonde (André Richard), she is survived by her sister Ghislaine (Noël Bouchard) in Gatineau; in Quebec City her sisters Andrée, Thér&egravese (Pierre Aubin), and her brother Jean-Marc; and in St. Romuald her brother Roger (Marie-Hél&egravene). In Wakefield, Quebec, she is survived by her sister-in-law Cathy Algie Campeau (Peter Connolly), her nephew Nicolas Campeau (Quelen) and her great nieces Jessica and Sofia, her nephew Christian Campeau, and in Lisbon, Portugal by her great nephews Ruben and Gabriel Campeau. In the United States she is survived by her niece Lisa Campeau-Fenzel (Michael) and her great nephews Marcus and Christopher, and her great nieces Sara and Ellie Fenzel.

Anne went to Maria Goretti Elementary School in Quebec City. She attended Dominique Savio High School also in Quebec City, where she was the Class President. She worked as a teacher of French as a second language at the Central Bank of Canada and for many foreign embassies in Ottawa.

Anne was an elegant, intelligent, able, thoughtful and loveable woman. She enjoyed travelling, singing in the choir, dancing, visiting friends, roller blading, walking, loving nature, going on cruises and generally appreciating people and their stories. Anne did not fear death, she had no regrets, and she imparted her wisdom and ‘Zen-like' attitude up until her very last day. She was calm and peaceful, always consoling others in their sadness and in their sense of loss. She told stories about her wonderful experiences, shared memories, and communicated her gratitude for the profound love and support from her partner, from her family and from her friends. From the onset of Anne's illness, her husband Bob of 39 years, became a committed, undeterred, unwavering and indefatigable cancer-researcher in an effort to save his one and only true love.
