Jean BUSBY

Goodbye, Mrs. Busby. It has been many years since I last saw Jean, but throughout my formative years, she was my second Mom. The influence she and her family have had on my life is profound. Once, after talking with Jean about the historical value of religion, what human spirit really meant and the Pagans, I was quite sure Jean was an atheist. A few days later, I walked into the Mineola Rd. house, and there was Jean, dancing full tilt in the living room, with a big grin on her face to George...

Very sorry to hear of Jeans passing. I have many fond memories of Jean and my Mom on Mineola Rd. W. Sincerely, Suzy

My condolences to the Busby family on the passing of Jean. She was a remarkable person.

As I began my independent life many years ago, Jean and Jack gave me these kitchen chairs to help get me launched. Aside from the utility they´ve provided for almost 50 years, they´ve served as a nice reminder of the warm, caring, and fun people that gave them to me. I especially remember how accepting they were of me during these formative years. I never felt judged despite providing them with plenty of material with which to judge me! I´ve lived in western Canada for over forty years now...

Jeannie and Ann

As Jean and I only lived a block apart for many years, our paths would frequently cross, largely due to our involvement with CFUW. I so looked forward to her cheery greeting and chat when I would drop off a book for the Book Exchange or meet up at International Affairs and Art Tours. A mentor, she demonstrated through action, that at any age, we can contribute our skills to better society.

Jean was always so interesting, connected and up to date. I especially appreciated her vitality when engaging in many memorable and heartfelt discussions. Fondly, Carol Anne

I knew Jean for many years through CFUW. She was always friendly, interested in what was going on, involved. She will be missed.

Jeannie and Jack were the first adults, outside my family, that I really talked to. And it was their doing, not mine. They took an interest. As the years went by, I was amazed how many of Ann´s friends would visit, long after she was gone, especially at Christmas.
