Jean Anna Stevens
1927-2019
It is with saddened hearts that we, the family, announce the passing
of Jean on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, in Hants Community Hospital,
Windsor, NS, at the age of 92. Formerly of Blacks Harbour, Pennfield
and Quispamsis, NB and Bedford, NS. She was currently residing in
Windsor, NS. Born in Chamcook, Charlotte Co., NB, on September 3,
1927, Jean was a daughter of the late Angus and Nellie (McNicole)
MacGillivary.
In 1947, Jean married William Stevens and raised three children in
Blacks Harbour, NB. Throughout her lifetime Jean worked at Connors
Brothers in Blacks Harbour and retired from running the Food Services
Department at the Funday Hospital in Blacks Harbour. Jean enjoyed many
years of retirement with her family, jam making, baking, reading,
cross word puzzles, travelling and cheating at the occasional scrabble
game. She loved her time each summer in PEI with her grandchildren and
great grandchildren and her L.M. Montgomery stories.
Jean is survived by her twin daughters, Judith Lorraine Craig,
Bedford, NS and Jennifer Elaine Stevens-Ross, Halifax, NS; son,
William David Stevens, Smithers, BC; brother, Everett (Jackie)
