Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJEAN STUART WILLIAMSON Jean Stuart Williamson passed away on July 31, 2015 at the age of 95. Born and raised in Montreal as the oldest of four girls, Jean came to Winnipeg in the early 1940's to attend Western Bible College. Jean served as a minister with the Pentecostal church in rural Manitoba but subsequently returned to attend United College graduating in 1954. She taught grade school in Emerson, Manitoba for many years. Jean placed a high value upon education and was immensely proud of her three bachelor degrees. She would always include her degree abbreviations whenever signing or printing her name. Upon retirement, Jean again returned to Winnipeg to become a very active member of Calvary Temple. She especially enjoyed singing in the choir. Jean was predeceased by her sister Annie on New Year's Day, 1931. She is survived by her two sisters, Florence DuBois of Ottawa and Mary Doughty of Bermuda as well as two nieces, three nephews and their families. A Memorial Service will be held at Calvary Temple, 400 Hargrave Street, on Monday, August 10, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Brookside Cemetery. Sincere thanks to the many who have shared friendship with Jean over the years.

I never knew Jean personally, but I remember seeing her arrive by taxi to the back door of Calvary Temple on choir practice night, faithfully every week whether hot weather or bitter cold. Faithful is what I learned from observing Jean. - Posted by: Erma Bergen-Glowasky () on: Aug 13, 2015

I was very fortunate to have "Miss Williamson" as my French teacher in Emerson Manitoba from grades 9-12. She had a genuine affection for her students. She drilled into us the rules of grammar. Who among her students could forget "A past participle conjugated with avoir agrees with its preceding direct object." She broadened our perspective by having paintings on loan from the Winnipeg Art Gallery displayed in the hallways. On many occasions she organized and chaperoned trips at mid-term breaks to Montreal, Toronto and Niagara Falls for the students. What a brave soul. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Ken Kreitz (Student) on: Aug 09, 2015
