To the family and friends of Jean Trudeau, I am very sorry to hear of her passing and your loss. I only worked with her for a short period in the UST EMBA office. She was a wonderful boss and inspiring individual.

As the former Building service worker at the University of St.Thomas Minneapolis campus, I worked with Jean for many years.

To JT Warriors - I did not know Jean personally, nor the family however we came together for a common cause. I was shocked when I saw her notice in the paper and my heart goes out to all of you - I am very sorry for your loss

I was deeply saddened to hear the passing of Jean. I remember when I first met Jean at the UST EMBA office in Minneapolis, she was helpful, kind, loving and sweat. Her words of encouragement always gave me hope and optimism that there are better days ahead. Thank you Jean, and I will always be with you in spirit.

Jean Trudeau brought the same passion she had for children's education to her work in adult education. She was always graceful, kind, friendly, and professional. Even while she was absorbed in her work, she always was proud to share her latest stories about her family, whom she loved dearly.

I had the pleasure of working with Jean on the Student Advisory Board for UST EMBA Cohort 58. She always made herself available to us, and always worked hard to insure our educational experience at UST was second to none. Godspeed Jean, from the "best and the brightest" (wink-wink).

I remember Jean as a warm, friendly, thoughtful person, who also happened to be our landlady thirty years ago.
I am thinking of you, Terry, Dan , and Emily and hoping you find comfort in your memories of Jean.

Jean inspired me with her wit, her wisdom, her passion for life, her love for discussing books while sharing delectable meals--in short, with her very being. She was a supreme storyteller, a source of unwavering support, and a gifted role model to me prior to and after my own brain surgery. She had a gift for making people feel special and valued with her smiles and frequent laughter. May all people be blessed to have a person like Jean in their lifetimes.

Terry, Jean was a great inspiration and huge supporter to me and Cohort 53 during our coursework at UST. I also enjoyed our connection to Honeywell and swapping stories with her! She will be truly missed. Take care and may you have comfort in your memories and love for her. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Michelle and Mark Coleman

Jean was a bright, happy upbeat light and helped many of us in Cohort 59. She always remembered something about each one of us and was positive when we would be discouraged or struggling. She was one of the reasons I even started and then finished my MBA. Her reach was far, wide and always punctuated with a laugh. Please know she is in our prayers and that she touched many people along her journey.

I am so sorry to hear of Jean’s death. St. Francis De Sales said, 'There is nothing as strong as gentleness. There is nothing so gentle as strength.' Jean was so very strong, and she will be dearly missed by both the UST and larger communities.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family during this difficult time. K. David Hirschey

Elegantly audacious. Groundwire for family. Grand duchess of Bastille Day. She made each work day - reasonable.
I miss her.
