While living & working in Ajax from 1966 to the present, Jean was a member of St. Paul's United Church & made many friends there. In her retirement she enjoyed trips to the Gaspe Peninsula, her coffee shop afternoons with Anne, Judy, Ruth & the late Helen.
Jean lived independently after her husband's death until a fall altered her way of life.
No longer able to live on her own, Chartwell Ballycliffe became her new home.
She amazed staff with her excellent memory of names & birthday dates, knowledge of a variety of topics. She made many friends there & was respectful to all in her surroundings.
