Jean was a member of the former Howard Road Botany United Church, and a life member of the United Church Women’s League. She was active in the Sunday School, Mission Band, and Cradle Roll.
Jean loved gardening, toiling in her flower beds, and enjoyed all manner of birds that visited her feeders about the house.
