Jean was my Mom's (Ruth Moore) next door neighbour and when I came to London, seeing Jean was one of the highlights of my visit. I have fond memories of her "down to earth" warmth and wonderful sense of humour.

Great Kipp memories...Jean and Don,Jean was a fun lady

~ wayne & Dot Geall

We were lucky to have Don and Jean as neighbours. They were warm and welcoming and loads of fun. After Don passed away, we continued to cherish our friendship with Jean. She was quite simply a one-of-a-kind, a once in a life time friend. A wise, witty, kind, caring, smart, classic beauty. We celebrate a life well lived, and send our sincere condolences to Donna Jean and Jim, and to Wendy, and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Bryan was Jean's accountant for many years. We both enjoyed visiting Jean at income tax time and always had a lovely visit. She always welcomed our dog and always had a treat for her. She was a lovely, funny and wonderful person.

So hard to say goodbye to a mom. She had a sparkle to her that will never be forgotten. So grateful to have met her. Hugs to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jean's passing, she was a beautiful woman inside and out. She was a lady in the true sense of the word. May memories bring you much happiness Donna and James, as time passes.
