Jean arrived at Pier 21 in 1955 as a young girl with her family, settling in Halifax. She married and moved to Truro with her husband and two young children in 1963. After her five children were in school, Jean went back to work and found herself working for the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition where she managed the office for 21 years. With this experience in hand, she went on to become the manager of the South Shore Exhibition in 1997 where she stayed until her retirement in 2006. In 2003, she was elected as the President of the Exhibition Association of Nova Scotia. She remained involved as a volunteer with exhibitions in Nova Scotia until 2014. During her life she travelled widely around the world, both to visit her children and to explore new places. Wherever she went, she loved to talk to people and she really loved to dance. In 2015, she returned to Truro to be closer to family and long-time friends after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. Jean's family wish to express their gratitude to the staff and residents of Munroe Court and to Valerie from Earth Angels for making Jean's last few years so special.
