Elizabeth “Jean” HARRINGTON — Halifax
Died peacefully in Halifax on October 17, 2022 at the age of 89. Born in Halifax, she was the eldest child of Dr. Robert Ross and Esther (MacKay). Jean is survived by her children, Ann Carmichael, Ross, and Jill Feindel (Steven); as well as her grandchildren, Laura (Barney Wood), Jonathan (Alexandra Nelson), Kathleen (John Thomas McKenna), William, Alexandra, Elizabeth (Drago Dechev), and Peter (Mackenzie Feindel); and six great-grandchildren. Also survived by siblings, Barbara MacKenzie, Alexander “Sandy” Ross and Alison Charters. She was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Frank; and son-in-law, Robert Carmichael. Jean loved her family and enjoyed a wide circle of friends throughout her life, many from her early childhood, and university days at Dalhousie. Her involvement in various community groups, including the Junior League of Halifax, YWCA, and the Dalhousie Alumni Women’s Division were a big part of her life. She made many friends during her world travels with Frank. Summers were a time to enjoy the warm waters and sunshine of Cape John at the family cottage where friends and family gathered for many Aggravation tournaments and Frank’s famous gourmet meals. Thank you to the staff of Blueberry Hills, Ivany Place in Bedford for their kindness and care. The arrangements are being handled by Dartmouth Funeral Home and a family interment service will be held in Christ Church Columbarium at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia or a charity of your choice.
