Proverbs 31: 12-13, 25-31 “The Good Wife”
Our mother had these verses highlighted in her bible. They describe the virtues, skills and strengths of a good woman, which she used as a guide throughout her life.
Jean was born and grew up on the family farm on Airport Line. She became a dedicated elementary school teacher in several South Huron Communities. As an active Christian she was a church pianist for decades, a member of the Triebner Gospel Quartet and a participant of the Women’s Missionary Society. Jean supported the Gideons International in Canada along with her husband Donald G. Jolly. Quiet and humble but never without strength. We rejoice that she is now reunited with her husband and siblings in heaven.
