Jeannine was born in Sidney, daughter of Alfred and Desange (Bernier) Poulin. She graduated from Cony High School, Augusta, ME. She pursued her higher education at Northern Essex Community College, Haverhill, MA, Kennebec Vocational College, Fairfield, ME and Community College, San Antonio, TX. She was employed by Seton (Sisters Hospital) in Waterville and then by State of Maine, Department of Human Services until her retirement. She was quite the jokester and prankster, always looking to put a smile on someone's face or have a good laugh herself. She also enjoyed watching QVC to see all the latest gadgets. Some of her fondest memories were spending time at the Retreat House in Biddeford Pool and when she could no longer attend Mass because of her illness, daily Mass on TV was top priority. She was a devout Catholic and a member of Notre Dame Parish (Corpus Christi). She was also a member of The Oblate Missionaries of Mary Immaculate, a secular institute of committed Catholic Women living the gospel at the heart of the world. She entered on October 18, 1957. She was a consecrated lay person with vows of Obedience, Poverty and Chastity. She was predeceased by her father and mother. She is survived by her three brothers, Henry, of Augusta, Norman and Gerald of Sidney and several nieces and nephews as well as her good friend, Diane Dicesare, and her Oblate Family.
