Let me introduce our next 1976er, the fiery but oh so sweet Jeannine Holmes. Our beautiful, beloved ginger is the type of friend you always want by your side. Honourable, hardworking, clever, creative, calm and confident and always up for an adventure!
Growing up in Leaside connected her to the coolest cast of characters that would last a lifetime. University took her to McMaster where she excelled at the number game and pursued a career in Accounting. She quickly blasted to the top at KPMG and then was done with them moving on to bigger life goals. With a long time passion for animals her next studies focussed on animal psychology and work with UofT and the Toronto Zoo.
Over the years our paths crossed back and forth from days at LHS to playing many years of ultimate frisbee together (earning the nickname J9), rocking at concerts, weekends up north and partying with mutual friends. It was always a happy reunion!
In 2016 she snuck off to San Fran to marry her life partner Dan Sorotschynski. A whole new adventure was about to begin. They bought a house in the west end, started with a few cats…little ones were just around the corner. These days you will find her riding her bike around Parkdale dedicating her heart and brilliance to many noble causes - her beautiful children Ryland and Adelyn, good times with good friends, community initiatives and a family business with Dan.
I’m thankful for her friendship and grateful that we’ve stayed connected despite the years and the distance between us. Looking forward to celebrating 5-0 with this firecracker!
-Anna
