Jean H. Hergott

Born January 14, 1926 in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, Jean passed

away peacefully on June 22, 2010 at the Carlton Gardens residence

in Burnaby. She lived with Alzheimer’s disease for many years

and her courageous journey has ended.

Predeceased by her husband Albert (Bert) Hergott, her brother

William Fibish, Jean is survived by her brother Douglas Fibish;

two loving daughters Maureen (David) and Rosanne (Doug); and

her four beloved grandchildren Thomas, Kaitlyn, Rachel and

Gillian.

Jean travelled West with her parents and brother William to

Abbotsford, BC in 1929. After many years her father was able to

start a tailor shop, where she helped him with the hemming. A

nursing graduate of St. Paul’s Hospital in 1947,

she met her husband Albert (Bert) in 1951. They were married for

57 years.

Jean was a member of the Catholic Women’s League at St.

Augustine’s Parish for many years, and was an avid knitter and

seamstress, making many outfits for her daughters. She spent her

later years painting landscapes and with her gentle way, helped to

care for her grandchildren. She also loved to travel the globe with

her husband Bert.

As her Alzheimer’s progressed, she was always happy and

gracious with visitors, and every day was greeted with a

wonderful sense of discovery. God now opens his arms to her to

rest in peace in his welcoming Kingdom.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the

Alzheimer’s Society of BC, 300 – 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver,

BC V5Z 1E2.

In appreciation… The family would like to express our gratitude

for your kindness, evident in thought and deed, by your

attendance at this service. We would also like to thank all the

wonderful staff at Carlton Gardens for their excellent care.
