Jean MORROW Obituary

JEAN OLDING MORROW (née Cruikshank) Jean Morrow, a proud Nova Scotian and resident of Toronto, passed away March 15, 2020. Predeceased by her husband Robert Stairs Morrow, Jean is survived by her five children: William (Ruth), Rich (Niguiar), Rob (Karen), Brenda (David) and Ross (Sandy). She took great pride in her family and was a loving grandmother to eleven grandchildren and six great- grandchildren. Jean had the soul of an artist. She was a member of the Sumi-e Artists of Canada, a Life Member of the Milne House Garden Club, and an accredited horticultural judge with an encyclopedic knowledge of roses. Jean attended St. Andrews, St. Giles and Rosedale Presbyterian churches. She is fondly remembered by friends and family for her generous nature and the uncomplaining stoicism that she believed to be the foundation of character. We thank the staff of Belmont House and caregiver Angela Smart for their dedication and kindness. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations gratefully received by the Belmont House Foundation or a charity of your choice.

I never got to know Mrs. Morrow, I heard of her passing from members of my church, but I did know her son Ross Morrow through Scouts Canada. When I was living in Nova Scotia, I attened Kings Presbyterian Church where I was able to get acquainted with Ross again. When I returned to Toronto, I went back to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Humber Heights where the Morrow family grew up at and the boys attended The Mighty 4th Humber West Scout Group. I was able to stay in some conversation with Ross. When my mother passed away in2016, Ross gave his condolence for the loss of my mother. I, therefore give Ross and the Morrows my condolence for the loss of their mother. I pray for the Morrows and take care and god bless.

Sincere, Robert Heath.

Mrs. Morrow had great stories about her life always focusing on family. Many a time she offered for me to stay overnight when she was in her apartment, when we had bad weather. I was always appreciative of the offer, telling her that I promise I would be careful getting home. Her offers were always so sincere.

My sympathies go out to the family

Please know that I liked Jean vey much. I first met her here at Belmont House 4 years ago and then I was the volunteer who saw her as often as possible when Jean moved to the West Wing.

I loved Jean's stories about the Maritimes and about her family and her delightful stories about her mother.

You will surely miss her dearly while cherishing lovely memories of your life with Jean.


Most sincerely and with condolences

Mrs. Morrow and I had a special friendship at Belmont House as we both came from Nova Scotia. Every day when she would pass by the front desk she always said to me that " we nova scotians must stick together"... we would then both agree and have a light laugh. Mrs. Morrow was such a kind soul always looking out for me at the front desk especially on very cold winter days she would offer to get me a cup of coffee and also offer to bring from her apartment a blanket to keep me warm. Belmont has a rose garden and she was very knowledgeable about roses and would share her passion with me. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her children and hugs from me to all of you. Love Debi McNeil- former front desk supervisor now retired.
