Jean was born on November 9, 1928, and grew up on the family farm in the District of Green Oak. She came to Winnipeg at a young age, and found employment within various restaurants in the North End, and there she met Matthew. They married in 1955, and were happily married for 47 years. Jean had many talents with a needle and thread, such as crocheting, quilting, knitting, and embroidering many Ukrainian blouses for family and friends. She made many beautiful quilts, and enjoyed giving them away to everyone as much as she enjoyed making them. She loved the outdoors, and spent many happy hours gardening. Jean was a very friendly and kind person, and was known to everyone as "Auntie Jean". The Family would like to thank Dave and Janet Schab for being so kind and helpful.
