Jean worked for the Township of Norwich for many years and was one of the founding members of the Otterville Sunshine Club. Once into her retirement enjoyed time with family and friends, watching the Toronto Blue Jays, the sports of curling and skating and was often in attendance of her children's and grandchildren’s activities. She loved her home, a good visit with a cup of coffee or tea, she had an unwavering loyalty and always an ear to listen. She lived her life with integrity and was true to her word. She was always “fine” when asked how she was doing.

There will be a luncheon following the funeral service, at the Woodlawn Hall, in Otterville. Inurnment will be at a later date.

The family wishes to thank Doctor Sohla for his care, neighbours Rose and Ron and Jackie for “checking in” when we were unable to be there in person. Christine for all the years of hairstyling and the PSW’s who attended the home for daily care with a special thank you to Tracy for her companionship.
