Stella (Estelle) Jandreau, 89, a devoted wife for over 65 years and loving mother returned to the arms of Our Lord on October 29, 2018 at her home in Summerfield, Florida. Stella was born to Pascal and Alma (Toussaint) Caron, on August 1, 1929 in Saint Anne, New Brunswick, Canada where she worked hard on the family farm alongside her 9 brothers and sisters.

Together they owned and operated Jandreau’s Grocery from 1960 until their retirement in 1986 as well as the Blue Lantern Cabins from 1960 to 1974. They eventually moved to Florida to embrace their retirement in the warm sunshine where they enjoyed many years of square dancing, spending time with family and friends, afternoons at the pool and fun evenings of playing cards.
