My condolences to Jean's family. I just now saw in the alumni journal that she had passed away. She was my mentor and also oriented me to public health in South office. She was a joy to work with, caring and fun. I remembered what she modelled as a public health nurse when I moved on to Calgary and Vancouver.

My condolences to the family. I will miss Aunty Jean very much; Her kindness, sense of humor and generosity will always be remembered. Although, my heart is heavy - I find comfort that Aunty Jean and Mom are sitting chatting and giggling as they did when they were here with us. - Posted by: Trish Wishnowski (Neice) on: Nov 19, 2013

My condolences to the family. Jean was a friend and mentor to me as a new grad in 1973. She helped orientate me to public health nursing in the South District Office. I loved working with her. She was always kind and patient. A very classy lady. Sincerely, Sue Magne - Posted by: Sue Magne (Colleague) on: Nov 17, 2013
