They had five children between 1949 and 1958. Jean and Jack moved to Winnipeg in 1964. They settled in Transcona and it was the perfect place to raise their family.
Jean and Jack had 13 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. They were very active in all their lives and had a unique bond that was evident through the love and respect they shared.
Jean had many creative talents and her flair for decorating made her home cozy and welcoming. She was a very social person and loved to spend time with family and many wonderful friends. She enjoyed darts, cards, senior gatherings and any activities that she could interact with others.
She was a beautiful, smart and loving woman. She was our pillar of strength and she was extremely proud of her family.
Jean was predeceased by her husband Jack, parents, Ran and Cora McMaster, sister Dolly and Ab Bailey, sister-in-law Erva and Jerry Zager and numerous aunts and uncles.

Being from Transcona and having family members with close ties, I was introduced to this wonderful lady many years ago, but I really got to know Jean when we worked together at the Bay. Her smile and beautiful personality is what I remember most about her. She once gave me a picture of Tom Selleck that she took in Hawaii, and to this day, when I come across that picture, I smile and think of her fondly. I am so sorry for your loss, but how lucky you all have been to be blessed by having her in your life. My sincere condolences. - Posted by: Pauline (Co-worker and friend) on: Apr 04, 2020
