She spent many years assisting her family with child care. She was a wonderful grandmother, enjoying day trips with the grandchildren. One of Jean’s happiest times was at the age of 60 when she took her first plane flight to Alberta. She enjoyed it so much, she went back two years later. Jean was always there to listen, many phone calls and miles apart. Jean spent her last five years at the Gordon B. Isnor Manor, where she had many friends.
