Jean is survived by her daughter-in-law, Juanita; precious granddaughters, Jessica (Adam Raddatz), Danielle (Jeremy Smith); great granddaughter, Madisson Wright; sister-in-law, Doris;  several nieces and nephews.

Many will remember Jean from her time working as a clerk at Dominion Chair Company Store and actively volunteering with several Bass River community groups over the years. She had a love of all animals and enjoyed visiting the cottage, playing cards, gardening, quilting, crafting, baking and cooking. Above all, Jean was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and she was happiest when she was spending time with her family.

We would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Wynn Park Villa and Dr. Trevor Locke for the care and compassion shown to Jean and her family.
