Obituary of Carmen Patricia Rose Jubinville

Carmen Patricia Rose Jubinville 1950 - 2019 After thirty-four years of living with Multiple Sclerosis, Carmen Patricia Rose Jubinville, aged sixty-nine of Cranbrook, British Columbia, passed away on January 20th, 2019 at 1:05 pm in the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Carmen was born on January 5th, 1950 in Vancouver, BC to her parents Adam and Ruth (nee Nelson) Purper, and joined her sisters Beth, Joan and brother Bill and then eight years later by her baby brother John. Carmen grew up in Vancouver with her family and graduated from Kitsilano Secondary School in 1969. She never could have imagined while on a blind date with a gentleman named Allan Jubinville that on September 17, 1977, they would be married. In 1978 they welcomed their son Jeffrey Allan and in 1980 their daughter Barbara Ann. In 1984 Carmen began to struggle of symptoms of MS, and in 1986 was diagnosed. Over the next four decades of her life, Carmen began working in each of the communities her family lived to raise awareness of mobility issues challenging all disabled people. Carmen is predeceased by her father Adam Purper (1992), mother Ruth (Nelson) Purper (1989) and her loving husband Allan Jubinville (2007). Carmen is survived by her children Jeff (Kristin) Jubinville and Barb Jubinville, her grandchildren Kaitlyn, Alainna, Amelie and Ella, her siblings Beth (Rick) Goehring, Joan Mitchell, Bill (Tena) Purper, and John Purper, and Uncle Ray and Auntie Joan Hamilton.
