Condolences
I remember Jean as a sweet lady, with a lovely accent, and singing voice who sang with the Musical Bells in Holstein, Ontario
— Linda Waldow, December 20, 2024My deepest sympathies to Jean’s family. I will remember her smile and sense of humour fondly.
The Marshall Family
Jean was my dear sister-in-law (in Scotland) and I will always remember her for her cheerful manner, kind hospitality and good advice. I will particularly miss our regular Skype calls these last few years.
A shining star, an inspiration, a quick wit with a twinkle in her eye and Scottish Country Dancing in her soul.
