Our sweet mom passed away peacefully on January 26, 2020 at the age of 92,

after a brief illness, with family by her side.  Jean joins her beloved late

husband Ralph Connor who left us in 2004.

She will be deeply missed by her loving children, Bill (Lois Connor),

Beth (John Sebben), Kathleen Duschenes and John Connor.  Daughter-in-law

Kathy Connor and Son-in-law Michael Duschenes and her 6 grandchildren

Jeffrey, Meghan, Michael, Alison, Matthew and Sarah who were a big part of

Nanny's life.

Jean was predeceased by her brother Gordon Jarvis, and her two sisters

Eleanor Calder, and Kathryn (Kip) McCarthy.  They spent their childhood in

Bethany and today is where everyone still calls home.

Jean graduated from Lindsay High School, then moved to Toronto, attended

U of T and graduated with a BA in languages.  She joined Bell and shortly

after met Ralph and soon were married.  Jean and Ralph raised four wonderful

children, living in Walkerton, Kapuskasing, Scarborough and finally settling

in Thornhill for over 30 yrs.  For the past 18 yrs she called Amica in

Mississauga her home, which she loved so much.  She met so many wonderful

people and made so many dear friends along the way.

Jean and Ralph spent many wonderful years cottaging on Gibson Lake, Go Home

Lake, 12 Mile Bay and finally joining Bill and Beth's cottage life on

Georgian Bay near Parry Sound. They spent many winters down in New Smyrna Beach,

which was always a highlight for the grand kids to visit their Nanny and

Poppa.

Jean was a teaching expert especially in Math.  She helped many people get

through Grade 12/13 with her math skills.  She was always so patient and

willing to help anyone, anytime.  She also excelled at Crosswords, read

tirelessly every novel she could get her hands on and she loved Sudoku.  She

also played bridge for many years and was in two bridge groups.

At moms request, there will be no formal service.  A small family internment

will be held at St. Mary's Church in Lifford at a later date.

Arrangements and condolences are in the care of Kopriva Taylor Funeral Home

of Oakville, Ontario.  Donations in mom's memory can be made to St. Mary's

Cemetery, Lifford, Ontario.
