It is with heavy hearts the family announce the passing of
Jean Ann (Hayes) Quinlan, wife of the late Bernard Quinlan, which
occurred peacefully at the Saint John Regional Hospital – Palliative
Care Unit on April 8, 2018. She was born in Saint John on August 28,
1932 and was the youngest daughter of the late Frederick (Pud) and
Florence (Surrette) Hayes.
Jean was a wonderful mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother. She always treasured the times she spent with those
she loved; watching her grandchildren grow into wonderful adults and
being the proud great-grandmother to four beautiful
great-grandsons.
Jean will be sadly missed by her daughters Gail Friars (Glen)
and Sandra Blackadar (Eric); her much loved grandchildren Kyle Friars
(Melissa), Scott Friars (Zoe Monahan), Sarah (Blackadar) Mason (Steve)
and Ryan Blackadar; her great-grandchildren Braydon and Reed Friars,
and Logan and Jacob Mason whom she adored and was so proud of; her
brother-in-laws Calvin Patterson and Harold Quinlan; and sister-in-law
Marjorie (Quinlan) Cosman; many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear
friends. In addition to her husband and parents, Jean was pre-deceased
by her sister Evelyn Patterson.
Before retirement, Jean worked as a clerk for Imperial
Optical and payroll clerk for Woolco Department Stores.
Jean loved her family dearly an enjoyed many family dinners
and afternoons playing cards. She had many fond memories of the years
she and Bernard spent trailering in St. Martins with their friends
Nony and Junior Dunn. Jean was also an avid reader and loved a good
book, as well as playing Words with Friends on her IPad. She crocheted
beautiful doilies and gave them as gifts to many. She enjoyed new
friendships while living at Shannex Jubilee Hall.
