Jean Senecal

ST. IGNATIUS o Jean Senecal, 47, went to join the ancestors on Friday, Oct. 15.

A twin, she was born on Sept. 27, 1957, in St. Ignatius to Lucy Woodcock. She was raised and educated on the Reservation by her adoptive parents, Alfred Raymond Senecal and Bernie Valentine. She was a dedicated mother and homemaker who enjoyed working in the woods.

She also enjoyed beading, sewing, arts and crafts and spending time with her family and all the numerous friends who loved her. She loved taking long rides with loved ones and barhop with her twisted sisters. And trust me they were all twisted!

But a day will never go by without a iJeannie Coi flashback. Jean was and is still truly loved and will always be missed. You rest in peace, Pretty Girl.

Jean was preceded in death by Alfred Raymond Senecal, Bernie Valentine, T.J. Sias, Martin Andrew, Lucy Woodcock, Ken Ness, Theresa Ness and numerous other members.

Survivors include her children, April Marie Garfield, Amber Rose Garfield, Alida Rae Garfield and Max Joseph Andrew; brothers Joseph Senecal and Ronald Joseph (Candy) Martin; grandchildren Patrick Lee Hammer, Damion Michael Aragon, I'isha Rae Hammer, Stoney Boyer Aragon, Syris James Aragon, Ozzy Nathaniel Aragon, Creedence Irvine, Austin Irvine, Amber Rose (Jada) Garfield, as well as numerous aunties, uncles and cousins from the Sias, Woodcock, McLeod, Ness and Andrew extended families.

Mass was celebrated Wednesday in the St. Ignatius Catholic Mission.
