I  am so sorry to hear about Jean’s passing as she was so loved.  Jean  was wisdom and knowledge and helped me as a colleague in so many ways. I have been retired for a good length of time and Jean will never be forgotten.
My deepest sympathy and prayer to all her loved ones.

Dear Russ, Ashley, Colby and Mackenzie,
I am so deeply sorry and shocked to hear about Jean’s passing. Jean was a wonderful friend and neighbor back in the day when our kids were young. I will always remember her kindness to me and my family. Big hugs to all. You lost your best supporter. Family was everything to Jean. 
Love Anne Marie, David, Brad and Jessica Livingstone

Russ,Colby,Ashley and Mckenzie, we are so deeply sorry and in shock about Jean. She was such a wonderful, kind lady who always had a smile for you, and always there to help with whatever you needed. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by so many people. Love and hugs to you all. Danny,Anna Wagner and family.

My sincere condolences for the loss of a wonderful person. I worked with Jean at the centre.  She was a lovely lady who had a ready smile for everyone who passed her desk. I will always remember her fondly.

It was with great sadness to learn of Jean’s passing. I enjoyed working with Jean at the Contact Centre for many years.  “Good morning Jean” as you walked by her desk or stopped to chat for a bit.  Jean and I shared many laughs together.  She had a beautiful heart and would just beam whenever we spoke about family. You could feel how much she loved her family.  My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.  
Please accept my warmest condolences.

Jean was one of the most honest, straightforward and kind people I have ever met. I loved stopping by her work area to chat, coming in and out of the centre. It was a privilege to have known her for so many years. 
When talking about her family, you could feel her pride and love for them, especially her granddaughter Mackenzie!
She will be missed and not forgotten!
My sincere condolences to her family.
May She Rest in Peace and Her Memory be Eternal!💜

I am so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. I’ve known her from my summers spent at Ponhook around the campfire, playing card games and great talks on the beach. She was always there for others, offering support. Her family and friends are in my thoughts at this very difficult time.

Very saddened to hear of Jean's passing and 'am lost for words. This world has lost an amazing person and heaven has gained a beautiful soul.  

Ashley  - my thoughts and special prayers are with you and your family.  May beautiful memories of your Mom comfort you.

Sincere condolences to Jean's family, friends and loved ones.  Jean will always be remembered for her willingness to help others, her ability to get things done and her warm smile.  I worked with Jean for many years and she contributed to our work environment and work family very positively. She brightened up from the inside out whenever she spoke about her children and grand-daughter. I am so sorry to learn that she passed in this way.  Sending hugs and love at this difficult time.

I never met Jean, never met Colby, Ashley or Mackenzie, but I worked with Russ for a long time, and it was always clear that he held his family, and especially Jean, in high regard.  It was obvious when listening to Russ speak of her that she was full of kindness and warmth and also a rock—strong, steadfast, and a force to be reckoned with.

Russ - I'm so sorry for your loss, to you and your family, my deepest condolences.

My sincere condolences on your loss. I worked at the contact centre with Jean for many many years and she was one of my favourite people. Jean was always there to lend a hand, making sure things got done.  In our early years she helped with many of our social committee events for employees children. Every year she was the driving force behind Food Bank Stuff a Bus drives and Christmas toy drives. Jean truly was a force but always for good. I and my husband both have only fond memories of Jean and know what a loss this would be to her family. While I only met her family a few times, I felt I knew them well because she spoke so often of you all. She was so proud and you could see how much and how fiercely she loved her kids and husband. Kurt and I were truly shocked and saddened to her of Jean’s passing.  We both cared very much for Jean and she was a good friend and colleague. Again my sincere condolences to you all.

I was saddened to hear of Jeans passing. She was a wonderful  Mother, Grandmother, wife and sister. 
Jean was a kind and generous, she was always there for anyone that needed her.
May she rest in peace.

Jean was an absolutely amazing human. I had the pleasure of working with her from the start of my career at the bank in 2010 until the day she retired. She was like the mom of our site, always making sure our celebrations were happening without issue and ensuring that everyone had food. I would speak to Jean every day and it was always one of the highlights of my day. 
The impact she had on everyone in her life was so profound, she would often tell me about her family and when she brought any of them into work she beamed with pride and shared them with as many people as possible. It’s no wonder we have a room named after her at work. 
Jean you are truly loved and you will be forever missed. Sending love to all your family and friends at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Jeans passing.  Jean was a  co-worker for years, it was such a pleasure to walk in and her face be one of the first I would see,  smiling away,  often not knowing what colour she was about to add to you day with her funny charm  and wit :)

Jean was one of the most beautiful people I've had the pleasure of knowing. We used to talk everyday before my shift while we had our breakfast. She treated me like family and I am so blessed for the time I've had knowing her.

The world isn't the same place without you in it Jean. Rest easy beautiful ❤️

I remember back in 2001 when I started with the Contact Centre Jean’s bright smile made me feel so comfortable and welcomed, Then when I met Ashley at the CAU I knew she had to be Jean’s daughter with that same beautiful smile! My deepest and sincere condolences to you and your whole family Ashley!! ❤️

My heartfelt condolences to Jean's Family and Friends.
I worked with her for years at the centre and she just loved her Family and Friends. She literally took care of us all, even as her role changed she was a beacon of organization, efficiency and  authenticity with a big heart and professionalism, always!!!
I am so sorry for your loss.

Jean was a straight shooter, open and anyone who met her knew the real Jean.  There was no facade, no pretense, no guile.  Jean didn't suffer fools lightly but was also always helping. Worked closely with Jean for over 20 years and she was the glue to centre . Jean would bring her granddaughter by on the way to daycare to roll golf balls into the Tech Support mini-putt hole and she wasn't allowed to leave until she was successful.  Jean took care of all the celebrations and always told us Techies about the leftovers or even bring them to us.  She would get me rides to work when the buses were on strike and tried to get a job with her husband even.  She was a good sport and allowed us to dress her as Gilligan in a team theme competition.  There are so many memories which we will get to share with those who remain. Jean was such a personality that she will never be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to you all. I worked with Jean in my early years with the bank. She exemplified both professionalism and compassion. She was a class act! I'm glad I was able to know her.

I was heartbroken to hear about Jean's passing. I worked with her for 20+ years at Scotiabank and she ran the centre with such love and passion. When she retired,  we all felt the loss not just for how she did everything and knew everything but she was truly missed as a person. 
To her family, please know that you could tell she loved you and spoke of you often. My sincere condolences during this difficult time.  Jean was the best and was loved by many.
