PARNEY, Jean Eldeen - Peacefully on March 4, 2020, Jean passed away surrounded by her family.
Born in Toronto in 1939, Jean attended Havergal College before graduating from The Wellesley School of Nursing in 1961.
Many of her nursing classmates became lifelong friends with whom she shared laughs and reunion weekends.
Jean continued on to The University of Western Ontario, where she completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Following graduation, she sailed away on her honeymoon and began a 57 year love story with Bob.
Together, they raised 3 children and created a full and meaningful life.
Despite what Dad would say, Mom was in charge and always had the last word!
Jean and Bob and family spent many wonderful summers in Pointe au Baril on Georgian Bay.
Whether she was on the dock watching her grandkids dive into the Bay, or daring to enter the chilly waters herself (amusing family with her two-hour entries), Jean was happiest surrounded by her loved ones.
In the winter months, Jean loved the coziness of their home in Collingwood where she could be found puttering in the kitchen or working on one of her many crossword and jigsaw puzzles.
Thanksgiving and New Years were always best celebrated in Collingwood around the family table.
Beloved wife of Bob, mother to Jennifer Parney, Robin (Tim) Saunders and Chris (Danielle) Parney. Loving Nana to Mitchell, Thomas, Matthew, Owen, Emma and Sarah…all of whom adored their Nana. Survived by sister Alexandra Baker, brother Ted Olver and many nieces and nephews.
