Jean was born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan on February 22, 1935. She grew up a few miles from Libau, Manitoba, married the love of her life, Gus Kamke. They raised their three children on the Kamke family homestead. She enjoyed feeding the hummingbirds, gardening, canning, entertaining by throwing parties at home with family and friends, serving her delicious meals and desserts, especially her homemade perogies (she was named the "Perogy Queen"). Jean loved it when the children from babies to adults dropped over to visit and when she could visit them. Travelling around North America to visit family, friends and touring was very special to her, especially with Gus.
The family wishes to thank the staff at the Selkirk Tyndall Building, especially Jeff Wood (Jean's Social Worker) and a very special thank you to Bonny Makarchuk (Jean's grandniece), also the Selkirk Regional Health Centre, especially Dr. C.
