Jean loved to watch curling, to knit, sew, garden, read, cook and bake. She was known for her famous apple pie and even won first place in the Lougheed fair. In her later years, Jean loved to do jigsaw puzzles and crosswords to pass the time in long term care. She enjoyed watching the birds outside her window.
