Born August 31, 1930, Jean spent her first 11 years growing up on the family farm outside of Gimli then moving to Winnipeg and in a few years to Portage la Prairie where she graduated high school. She returned to Winnipeg to attend secretarial college and was then employed by the Winnipeg School Division.

Though small in stature our beloved mother, Baba and Great-Baba led us through the years with her intelligence and quiet strength. We will always keep her close in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jean’s memory to Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, Swimminglymb.org, or a charity of your choice.
