Jean was born in Ontario, on November 8, 1941.

They settled in Swift Current and raised their family.  Many will remember Jean from her years at Beaver Lumber as well as at the Swift Current Booster were she could be relied upon for her humour, opinion and generosity. Jean supported her children and grandchildren in their many sporting and educational activities over the years.  Jean was a vocal supporter of the Swift Current Broncos for 40+ years. Jean could always be relied on to lend a hand, volunteer where and when needed, and was a true and trusted friend to so many. 

The Memorial Service will take place on Friday, May 27th at 2:00 p.m. at the First United Church in Swift Current with Rev. Annette Taylor officiating. The graveside service will be held at the Hillcrest Cemetery and the family welcomes you to join them back at the First United Church for a lunch after.
