In Loving Memory ~

Jean was born on December 3, 1923 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She passed away with her son David by her side followed by her granddaughter Marji and great grandsons Jordan and Zach on October 2, 2024, at Columbia View Lodge in Trail, BC.

She was predeceased by her husband John of 67 years, daughter Marjorie and two young infants. She was the last surviving member of a family of four-brothers and one sister.

Jean is survived by her sons David and Gordon (Marion), grandchildren: Marji (Keith), Michael (Kathleen), Nathan (Amanda), Zachary (Lindsay), Ben (Trevor), and ten great-grandchildren.

Jean and John moved to Trail in the late 1940s and would make their home, raise their family and immerse themselves in the town. Jean was well known in the community for her years of teaching and playing the piano, bridge playing and attendance in many social gatherings.

Palm Springs was Jean and Johhny's winter get away for many years of fun times to meet up with close friends and family. She enjoyed evenings by the television to knit and crochet where many blankets, sweaters, mitts and slippers were made for loved ones.

Jean's wish was to be donated to the "Body Donation Program" at UBC. Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family's register at myalternatives.ca/langley/obituaries
