Jean’s Obituary
Jean Charlotte (Sherman) Marsh passed away following a courageous and lengthy illness, at West Park Crossing, Wednesday, September 2, 2020, at the age of 92. She was born on the farm at Belle Plaine, SK on December 21, 1927. Jean started her schooling at Stoney Beach, SK and Belle Plaine, SK, completing her education in Moose Jaw, SK with a Business Administration Certificate. She worked in Calgary, AB and Hamilton, MB and retired in Burlington, ON. Jean was dedicated to business and change to computers. She was a member of the Burlington Golf and Curling Club. When she retired, she moved back to Moose Jaw, SK and married her High School sweetheart, Earl Marsh. They had 10 happy years until his passing in 2010. The Grant Hall Retirement was home for the next couple of years. On its closure she took up residence at Caleb Village, where she enjoyed the fellowship and love of all the residents for the next 5 years.

She is survived by her very special granddaughter, Shayla Coleman (Didsbury, AB); and her sister, Eleanor Holden (Moose Jaw, SK); as well as her nieces and nephews who were her family. She always looked forward to their visits, a big hug and was always concerned for them. A Private Family Burial will take place at Rosedale Cemetery. Della Ferguson will officiate.

Concerning My Remains
Bury me not beneath the soil, when my beings put to rest;
Sprinkle my ashes on top of the place, near where my parents are at rest.
Spend no money on flowers that I can neither see nor smell;
Spend it where it does the best, to keep other people well.
Please let no one view my body; when my spirit is not within;
And do not weep, I will be just fine, Christ saved us from all sin.
Do give support and comfort, to the ones that I hold dear;
They will need your love and blessing, when I am no longer here.
Please put no stone, nor marker, where I lie on the ground;
I would like no interruptions when I am sleeping sound.
Thank you for honouring, this my last request for serenity and quiet.
May all of you be blessed.
In living memory of Jean, a memorial planting will be made by Jones – Parkview Funeral Services.
