Ouimette, Jean Pierre (6 February 1951 – 26 July 2018)

Jean Pierre Ouimette passed away at the Pine Crest Nursing Home in Merrill July 26, 2018, at the age of 67.

Jean is survived by his partner of 28 years, Elaine Thomas; his sisters: Lori Evans (Milwaukee) and Nannette Ouimette (Blackburn, England); his brothers: George (Forestville), Jay (Appleton), Rene (Hazelhurst) and Larry (Minocqua).

He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Helen Ouimette, who resided in Neillsville until they retired.

Jean was born Feb. 6, 1951, in Manitowoc. He graduated from Neillsville High School in 1969 and attended UW-Stevens Point and UW-Oshkosh.

Jean was known for his deadpan sense of humor, kindness to animals, antique collections, appreciation of the arts, knowledge of wild plants, love of gardening and passion for his guitars and rock and roll.

We will miss his sweet smile every day.

Jean’s life will be remembered, privately, on family land in Hazelhurst, where the Ouimettes have made memories for decades.

Donations to the American Cancer Society would be appreciated.
