Janis Jeanne Gieselman (Harnois) passed away suddenly at 51 years on July 6th from complications related to an undetected and aggressive Cancer.

Our beloved wife, daughter, sister and mother was born in Edmonton in 1973 and spent the majority of her life in St. Albert until she moved with her family to Dubai for 8 years. Finally resettling back in St. Albert in 2015 with her husband and 2 children.

Janis lived an enormous life full of compassion, infectious laughter, and fierce love which she shared with family and her many, many friends, both locally and internationally.

Although she was taken too soon, our lives are better because of the time we did get with her.

She is survived by her parents Phil and Dianne Harnois, her husband Norm Gieselman, her daughter Jadyn, her son Benjamin, her sister Jodie Gubersky (Chris), her other sister Leanne Gunn, and her brother David Gunn.

    I have no words that I can say about the heartache and sorrow that you are all feelings. It was such a shock for me to hear that my niece Janis had passed away suddenley. I can not even imagine your pain.. My heart is still broken and crying for my sister and her family. I will always remember Janis as a wonderful person ,very up beat and a real funny person. She always had a smile on her face and now the Lord will have that smiling face with him.

  17. There are no words to express this tragic loss. Our heartfelt condolences & sympathies to you, Norm & the family.

    I have no words that can take away your heartache and pain. I have had pain in my life but not the kind of pain that you all are going thru. When Dianne phoned me to let me know that Janis had passed I thought that I heard her wrong, but I could not believe it. Dianne and Phil lost a daughter, Norm lost his wonderful wife,,Jadyn and Ben lost their mother and Jodie lost her sister and Chris lost his sister in law. I still can not believe it that my niece passed away at such a young age and so very sudden. My heart is still broken and still crying. Janis was a wonderful breath of fresh air., she spoke her mind and she was such a funny person and fun..She always had a smile on her face and now she will be an angel with the lord. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

  19. Sending our deepest sympathies to you and your family! A beautiful service. Our thoughts and hearts are with you. Hugs to you all!!!!!

  20. My thoughts, prayers and love go out to your entire family. No words can express the sorrow that comes from loosing a loved one. We have all dealt with these difficult times and understand that everyone processes the loss and moves forward in their own time and their own way. Give yourself the needed time, and live one day at a time. May peace find it’s way to you!
