Born in Rocky Point, Prince Edward Island, on June 12, 1922, passed away at the age of 87 years, in Summerland, B.C., on October 23, 2009, after a lengthy illness.
Jean grew up in Prince Edward Island and met Roland in Moncton, New Brunswick, in 1942, marrying shortly after. Their son, Bryan, was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and as Roland was in the Armed Forces, the family had numerous postings across Canada as well as Europe over the years. Roland and Jean finally retired to the Okanagan Valley in 1972. Jean loved flowers and was an avid gardener. She also enjoyed the challenge of trying her hand at many kinds of crafts.
Jean will be deeply missed by Roland, Bryan, her grandchildren, and her sisters Norma, Florrie and Constance. She was predeceased by her brother, Spurgeon.
In lieu of flowers, if desired, donations may be made in Jean's memory to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., South Okanagan/Similkameen, #104 - 35 Westminster Avenue East, Penticton, BC, V2A 1H7.
