WELOCK, JEAN E.
At the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen, NB., on May 17, 2015, two days after celebrating her 99th birthday with loving family at Loon Bay, Jean E. Welock passed away. Born May 15, 1916 to John A. and Ida (Hunter) McLeod, Jean was the youngest of a family of seven, all who predeceased her; Margaret, Jack, Ken, Malcolm, Don, and Mary.
On October 6, 1945 she married her true love, George N. Welock, and together they established Loon Bay Lodge, a sportman's retreat on the St. Croix River. They ran the business successfully together until George's untimely death on May 18, 1976.

The last two years were an unexpected blessing due to her friendships formed with people and staff at Lonicera Hall, her wonderful home.
