Very sad to hear of Jeannie’s passing – condolences to all the family on behalf of the Swensons (Val, Roy, Wendy).
hello, my name is Mary Williams and I am from Kelowna. I had the privilege of meeting Jean when I was staying in Salmon Arm a few years ago . Somehow we just clicked and became almost like sisters.
Every time I came to Salmon Arm , my daughter , Jan Naylor would try to take me to visit her. I will miss her happy smile and the big hugs we shared .
My sincerest sympathy to all your family.
I will miss our little visits at Piccadilly. Jean had an incredible ability to make anyone smile. She will be missed. Thoughts are with her family.
My condolences to the family. I met Jean at Piccadilly when my mother lived there and over the past 3 years I’ve always made a stop to visit her in her knitting corner. A very special lady and I will miss visiting her.
I’m so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She always had a smile and a hello to her friends.
A beautiful lady, inside and out.
I’m so sorry, and shocked, to hear of Jean’s passing. I will miss getting a hug from her and seeing her smiling face when visiting with my mom and dad at Piccadilly Terrace. Sue Kalke

So sorry to hear of your mom’s sudden and unexpected passing. Mom de Boer is going to miss her in the knitting corner at Piccadilly Terrace. It was always pleasant to sit and chat with her. This is a huge loss to her family that meant everything to her. On behalf of Elsie de Boer and myself, we offer our condolences.
Hey Watson family, condolences on the loss of Jean. She was a very lovely woman & we always enjoyed visiting with her, whether in Salmon Arm or when she & Cliff traveled through Abbotsford. Much love from Oma & Opa (Andy & Friede Weber), Tom & Bijou.
