Passed peacefully in her sleep on March 2, 2012. She carried fond memories in her backpack of youth, graduating from the University of Guelph, and Brock University’s Teacher’s College. She was the first female case worker for Big Brothers in Niagara Falls, riding her bicycle to home visits. She taught public school in Silver Valley, Alberta and travelled Europe in the summer. Jeannie was the beloved sister of Mary Muir(Don), Elizabeth, and Dave. Aunt “Bean” of Andrew(Holly), Ian, Natalie, and Catharine. Great aunt of Hailey and Alexander. Jean was a dear friend of Cathy, Sally, Anne, Alan, & Ali, and Stage Coach Coffee Club(N.O.T.L.). We will miss Jean’s friendship and sense of humour, she was an easy going, kind old soul.
Cremation has taken place, with interment in Niagara Lakeshore Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to McMaster Children’s Hospital would be appreciated and may be made through Hetherington & Deans Funeral Chapel, (905)-354-5614.
