WOROBETZ, Effie Jean Worobetz

With sad hearts we announce the passing of Jean Worobetz at the age of 88 years on Thursday September 4, 2025 at the Leamington Mennonite Home. She was born in Leamington and lived most of her adult life on the family farm in Comber. Jean was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ray of 64 years and now reunited. Devoted mother of John (Kathy) of Leamington, ON and Maryann (Peter) of Wolfville, NS. Predeceased by her youngest son Raymond. Adoring grandmother of Melanie, Jessica (Taylor), Sean and Danielle. Tender-hearted great-grandmother to two beautiful little girls who, Hailey and Harper always brought a twinkle to her eyes.

Jean was the first child of the late John and Anne Kropelniski. She is survived by her dear sister, Pauline Jackson (late George). Predeceased by her two sisters-law, Anne Bodnar (late William) and Mary Klym (late Metro). She also held great fondness for her four nieces (one predeceased) and nephew (predeceased).

She  dedicated much of her life to her family-raising three children with unwavering love, working on the family farm, and later supporting her husband in their small trucking business through her office work. Her home was always a warm and welcoming place, especially during the many cherished family gatherings she hosted over the years.

In her earlier years, she found joy in travel, especially to sunny destinations like Florida, creating wonderful memories that lasted a lifetime. She brought a friendly, familiar face to events she enjoyed attending, particularly those at the Comber Legion, and relished lunches with her group of ladies-whose numbers may have lessened, but whose friendships were cherished.

Through it all, her love for her family never wavered, and her strength, warmth, and gentle spirit will be truly remembered.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and the importance of togetherness-lessons we will carry with us always.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

A gathering to celebrate Jean’s life will be held by her family at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made out to Arthritis Research Canada in her memory.
