They married, raised three boys and shared many adventures together. Jean loved the outdoors and spent many hours skiing, hiking, camping and huckleberry picking. Jean worked at the local ski shops and later in life as a cleaner at Paterson Customs.
As well as enjoying the Rossland lifestyle with their many friends and relatives, they also spent time exploring Canada and travelling abroad. Playing bridge with the ladies was her passion.
Jean passed away peacefully and will be missed by her family including her three sons and spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is now reunited with her beloved husband.
