With deep sadness, we announce the January 10, 2024 passing of our beloved mother, Jean.

We live our lives through our relationships with others.
None touched our family deeper than those of Jean and Rocky in Edmonton.
Sharing our faith at Assumption Catholic parish, Rocky was my godfather and helped our family build our home in Bonnie Doon.
My mom and Jean were involved with the Catholic Women's League and the Marion Centre in Edmonton.
Jean, always that caring soul, touched thousands of lives through her wisdom and engagement in educational and human dignity pursuits.
We are all in a better place having had our lives touched by her wisdom and guidance.
May the family she has loved so dearly find peace and comfort knowing hers was a life well-lived and will be missed by many.
