With great sadness, the family announce the death of Jean on July 18th at St. Joseph’s Villa at 87 years of age. Beloved wife and best friend of Ronald (deceased) and dedicated, loving mother of Craig. He was the best thing that ever happened to her, and she talked about him to anyone and everyone until her last days. Predeceased by her father George, mother Margaret and brother Ronald Davey. She will be remembered and greatly missed by her many cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as many friends and co-workers. Prior to her retirement in 1998, Jean worked for many years in the insurance industry, most of that time with the firm of W.A. Hackett & Company Insurance Adjusters. Jean was a life-long resident of Dundas and was actively involved in community service work, especially with individuals with developmental disabilities, through the Dundas District Civitan Club. Jean was a charter member of that Club and a Past President. She was instrumental in the founding of the Dundas Learning Centre and was a staff/volunteer at the Centre for many years. Jean was involved in Special Olympics and with her husband Ron, they began the Dundas Alley Cats Special Olympics Bowling League. She had a big personality, a wicked sense of humour and a huge heart. The family will be having a private service and celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Dundas District Civitan Club, St. Joseph’s Villa, or the Chartwell Georgian would be appreciated by the family.
Forever missed Auntie Jean! Lots of great memories with you uncle Ron and Craig .
Dear Jean, Thank you for all the years of fun and laughter, you were more a sister than sister-in-law. We became close in 1962 and I will forever value that friendship. You were such a kind, caring, take charge , fun woman always planning events. You cared for and looked after your parents and husband Ronald and of course Craig was your number one. I certainly hope you reunite with your family and so many friends over the years. You were a treasure, love from Esther, niece Cheryl Lynn, nephew Geoffrey Scott, great nieces Shawna Pimentel and family, Krista MacNaughton and family great nephew Nicholas Budd and family. Rest In peace, until we meet again, big hugs, Esther xoxo
I will always remember Jean by her amazing smile, the time she would take to talk to everyone. I enjoyed all my conversations with her. And absolutely her love for Craig was so amazing to witness. I count myself lucky to have known her.
