JEAN ALLISON ENNIS (nee MACKIDD) 1947-2015 Born in Neepawa, MB, the only child of George and Freda Mackidd (predeceased). Dearly missed by husband and best friend Fred and her beloved dog, Wiccan. Also greatly missed by all her friends and relatives around the world. She kept in touch with them all. Jean graduated from the University of Winnipeg in Geography but found her true calling in Human Resources. She worked in that field in Edmonton, Coquitlam, Vancouver and the RD of Comox Strathcona. She was a true people-person with a unique sense of humour. She helped many, many people over the years both professionally and personally. After retiring she spent a lot of time volunteering in the community and kept involved in local organizations. She received excellent care and compassion from the staff in ICU at St. Joseph's Hospital but in her weakened condition the pneumonia became too much for her. In lieu of flowers donations to your local SPCA would be appreciated. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Comox Valley Funeral Home, Courtenay, B.C., 250-334-0707.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Jean's passing, Fred. I loved receiving her New Year's updates in the past, and had such a fun time visiting you two with Gloria all those years ago. Her sense of humour was such a gift. Heartfelt condolences. - Posted by: Janet Billington (Eaton's work buddy) on: Jun 13, 2015

I miss you Jean. I miss your humour, your honesty, your frankness, your understanding, and your pragmatism. Many times over our coffee chats, you brought me to another point of view by illuminating a perspective that I might never have considered otherwise. Such insightful gems were a mark of your wisdom and generosity of spirit. - Posted by: Bette Kosmolak (friend) on: Jun 13, 2015

Since I heard of Jean's passing my mind has been a kaleidoscope of memories. I have laughed and cried and grinned. She was unique: outspoken and yet compassionate; hilarious yet serious; stubborn yet open to suggestions. I cherished the time we had driving from Calgary to Montana when we solved the worlds problems as well as all those of our friends and families. (too bad no one was privy to our solutions). I will miss her. - Posted by: Janet Mackidd (Cousin-in-law) on: Jun 13, 2015
