Later on, Jean worked at Eatons in the Warehouse Division for over 12 years, retiring in 1982. Jean was a hard worker but a sensitive and loving mother. Jean enjoyed talking with her family and many friends. She especially cherished her visits to see her brother Pinky in Ontario and sister Mary in the United States. The family would look forward to her annual traditional Ukrainian Christmas dinners. She took pride in being able to cook for such a large gathering without any help. Cooking and playing Bingo were two of her favourite passions.
