Jean grew up and went to school in Hope BC where she made some lifelong friends and after testing the waters of a few communities, she settled on Salmon Arm where she has spent the last 34 years. She loved nothing better than camping and fishing with her family or clever conversation about current events with her many friends at the Royal Canadian Legion where she was an active Associate member. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
