This is a beautiful summary of Aunt Jeannie’s life … she was most definitely my dearest aunt and I will miss her incredibly.
Such a wonderful lady!! Loved talking to het! So sorry for your loss.
Such a beautiful person…she will be missed by all.
I’m very sorry for your loss Mike. It’s been a rough year for our generation.
I’ll always remember the Sunday dinners we enjoyed at Aunt Norma and Uncle Earl’s house in Hull. Aunt Norma’s laughter would fill the house. I often imagine I smell the wonderful aromas of “country cooking”, and hearing the “adults” telling their stories. We love and miss you dearly.
I was lucky enough to be Jean’s hairstylist she always made my day. She loved her family dearly always telling me stories. She always had a smile on her face. I cared for her as a dear friend. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
