Jean Fraser passed away peacefully on June 25 2025, at the age of 96, leaving behind a legacy of love and a sparkle in everyone's life.

Born on February 21, 1929, in Tillicoultry, Scotland, Jean was a force of nature whose endearing personality touched so many lives. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Joseph (Joe) Fraser, and her parents, Alexander and Frances Syme.

Jean married the love of her life, Joe, in 1950. Together, they immigrated to Montreal, Canada, where they raised their family, later relocating to Oakville, Ontario.

Jean was a cherished mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her children Andrew (Ann), Evelyn (Michael), and Rhona (Brad); her grandchildren Sarah (Jerry), Erica (Christopher), Jordan (Cate), Stewart (Corinne), Jessica (Jeff), Christopher (Beth), Neil (Sam), Corey (Ashley), Emily (Chris)  and great-grandchildren Gemma, Elias, Cleo, Geoffrey, Vincent, Miriam, Levi, Liam, Isaac, Emerson, Blake, Sloane, Penelope, Wyatt, Caleb and Lily who were a constant source of joy and pride.

As a child, Jean loved exploring the beloved Ochil Hills of Scotland and riding through nearby towns on her trusty bicycle. She was a founding member of the Oakville Pathfinders hiking group, an enthusiastic Scottish Country Dancer, a keen card player, and a joyful participant in many social activities. Jean was lovingly known as the Shortbread Queen, a title earned from the cherished recipe she learned as a child.

Jean's kindness, humor, and vibrant energy brought warmth to every room. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A very special thank you to the dedicated team at Tansley Woods Long Term Care, who cared for Jean with such love and compassion, and to the wonderful team at Amica Bronte, who showed her so much kindness and affection.

A private family interment will take place immediately following the service.
