Your parents had such a loving relationship. And , one thing for sure is they lived for their family.
Remember what a special mum you had – she was one in a million, cherished by so many.
She had a wonderful sense of humour, and provided some very sage advice.
Jean was a very caring and loving member of our guild.
Everyone at Birkdale loved her!
Jean was an amazing real lady.

I knew your Mom through Guiding and she taught me a lot. I am very sorry for your loss and send you and your family my deepest condolences.
Since meeting Jean at Our Cabana in 2000 she has held a very special place in my heart. Jean’s guiding spirit was second to none – her friendship and care for others stood out, and her words of wisdom, and her laugh, ring in my ears. Cherishing happy memories of times spent in Jean’s company. Sending love and hugs to Jean’s family and friends – losing such a special person will leave a huge hole but I know that you will have hundreds of happy memories to sustain you.

I’m so sorry for the loss of Georgina. She often came to Utica Daycare when I was supervisor there many years ago. She filled in for staff in the kitchen and in the classrooms, helping to care for the children. She was always willing to help out.

She was an amazing woman. My deepest condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace ❤️
Jean was a wonderful lady! So thankful I got to see her last summer. And that she left behind a souvenir for me to remember her by. Sue please know that you, Heather and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sure Jean doesnt want any of you to be sad but to remember the fun and happy times spent with her.
I only had the opportunity to meet Jean several times in person. I really got to know her, during Covid through my calls with Sue. It is funny how we come to know people and the impact they have on us.
Jean’s love for Curtis was the kind of relationship we should all strive for. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are a real tribute to a remarkable woman. These are the indelible footprints left with us.
Jean was outspoken, caring, adventurous, and believed in giving back to the community. During a time when she was most vulnerable, I remember overhearing her give instructions to Sue to purchase gifts for the hospital staff as an acknowledgment for their kindness. Aside from our three-way calls, I know how much she was looking forward to her trip to the east coast with Sue. It is a good lesson that we should always do what inspires us and when it inspires us, or we may lose the opportunity. I am so happy she was able to take the trip before she took ill.
Although Jean will be missed, there is solace knowing she is with her lifelong love, Curtis.
She was an incredible person.
Your Mom was an amazing person who was smart and capable, with a great sense of humour. She was a very committed spouse and mother. too.
