Jean was born in Hanna, Alberta on October 26, 1931 and had been a longtime resident of the Revelstoke and Craigellachie area. Over the years she was active with the Elks Club and the Food Bank and she loved to sew and crochet as well as spending time in flower garden or out in the wilderness gold panning. Jean enjoyed being involved, whether that was with her family or helping anyone in need. Many will remember her expressive eyes, her listening ear and her kind heart.
