Hamlin--- Jeannine (Rioux) Cyr, 83, peacefully died on June 11, 2019 at Aroostook House of Comfort in Presque Isle.  She was born in Drummond N.B. September 21, 1935, a daughter of the late Edward and Adele (Picard) Rioux, and was the beloved wife for over 41 years of the late Peter P. Cyr of Hamlin.

She was a stay-at-home mother until she and her husband purchased Pete's General Store, which they managed from 1970 to 1983. After "semi-retiring," they went on to open JP Greenhouses for several years and working part-time at the former Wagon Wheel, because she missed all the people so much. Jeannine also had a love for gardening, knitting and crochet. She was a parishioner of St. Joseph Church and an active member of the Columbiettes for over 40 years.

She is survived by: her daughter Dinah Parent (Rudy) of Hamlin, three sons, Michael (Donna) of Georgia, Edward (Sandra) of Connecticut, and Bruce (Mary) of South Carolina; seven grandchildren, Jamie and Nick Parent, Heather Levesque, Michelle, Dan, Kevin and Nicholle Cyr; eight great grandchildren, Courtney, Kayla, Peter, Emma, Brianna, Carly, Peyton and Aiden; one great-great granddaughter, Eden Jeannine Beckwith; four brothers, Guildo, Joel (Yvonne), Gracien (Denise), and Glenn (Alvine); four sisters, Odette Albert, Gaetanne Desjardin, Greta Ledoux (Jean-Guy), Joselyne Morin (Hubert); a brother-in-law, Roland Corbin; four sisters-in-law, Gaetanne Rioux, Jeanne Rioux, Colette Michaud and Jane Perreault; and many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents and husband, Jeannine was predeceased by one son, Ricky, a great grandson, Simon Cyr, three brothers, Alyre, Gerald, and Sylvain and two sisters, Gemma Corbin and infant Johanne Rioux.
