MRS. JEAN ELIZABETH MORTON Peacefully in her sleep at Bingham Memorial Hospital on Saturday, October 30, 2010, in her 93rd year, Jean went to be with her lord. She has lived a beautiful, fulfilling life in giving of herself - talents, time and love to everyone. Her service to others began with teaching four years in rural schools in Saskatchewan.

She married Ian Morton and they farmed until his untimely death during heart surgery. Jean returned to the nursing profession, living in Winnipeg. For the past four years she has blessed the Bustard-Nascimento household with her positive attitude, cheerful encouragement and infectious giggle. She was always an avid Saskatchewan Roughrider fan.
