I first met Jean when she joined my Line Dancing classes Nov 2008. She was a lovely lady and I admired her for carrying on dancing, after health problems, until I finished classes to move to Australia in June 2024. My thoughts are with you all. Val Koorey

Sending heartfelt condolences to you. Memories flood back of the times we spent in your lounge counting milk tokens with the family, endlessly taking turns on Pinto jumping him on the lawn with your Mum watching on - always encouraging us and making sure we all had a turn. We loved coming out to your place to play - it was like a real adventure. Your Mum always made us feel at home. Life seemed so easy when we were kids knocking around together. Kind Regards Raewyn Hughes and Ronwyn Coffey (nee Nesbitt)

Sending our deepest condolences to my cousins for the loss of Aunty Jean, a beautiful woman of great warmth, honesty and generosity. She shared her time and love so freely, had a spark for life, whether enjoying a glass of red, line dancing with joy, or welcoming others into her home with open arms. She will be missed but her spirit lives on in the love she gave so effortlessly. Rest in Love Aunty Jean. Love Shirley and Tanya ❤️❤️
