Jean Watson Obituary
Jeannie has left the building…
In her 95th year, having suffered at great length with Alzheimers, and in the feisty fashion that was so typical, she hung in there until the little circle of chairs was complete and gathered around her.
She leaves behind Jill, her only child, beloved son-in-law, Tim, and twin grandsons, Brandon and Aaron Van Tol, who she adored, and who kept unwavering vigil with her during the last days. She will be with us in spirit when Brandon marries his love, Concetta, on September 28th, and when Aaron and Brittney welcome their new baby girl into the world in the coming weeks.
Jean was born in England, grew up there during the war, and married Keith, the love of her life in 1952, after eight years of courting. They immigrated to Canada in 1953 and settled in Uxbridge in 1959 at “The Farm,” where we are still blessed to live, and the place the boys fondly refer to as “the Centre of the Universe.”
She loved to skate. After dreaming about it and watching Sonja Henie movies throughout her childhood, she finally learned how when she was 41. She continued to skate regularly until she was in her eighties.
She was incredibly creative and often studied in diverse summer art programs at Sir Sanford Fleming in Haliburton. Later on, art therapy became an important part of her life at Bloomington Cove, and we shared a special healing bond as we wielded our paint brushes and pencil crayons together.
A talented seamstress, she made beautiful clothes for the boys and me, as well as all the bridesmaids’ dresses for our wedding. She was a great cook too, regularly producing fabulous Sunday dinners from scratch at The Farm.
We are indebted with gratitude to the amazing staff in Garden House at Bloomington Cove for their dedication to her care throughout the past five-and-a-half years. You’re such good souls and you’ve made all our lives so much better through all the wonderful things that you do every day.
A Celebration of Jean’s life will be held at Low & Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge on Saturday November 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM (visitation one hour prior). Reception to follow the ceremony.
Mom/Nanny, we are thankful for all that you’ve taught us. Go and paint Heaven purple, and know that we are better off for having had you in our lives.
