Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nancy Jean Vinette House, beloved wife of the late Ron House, on November 30, 2022 at the age of 91 years.
Jean leaves to mourn her passing her sons Barry, Murray (Sheri), Kevin, her daughter Arlene, and daughter in law Lillian. Jean is also survived by eleven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.
Jean was predeceased by her parents George and Helen Croy, her son Blair in 2001, her husband Ron in 2014, and her brother Keith in 2021.
As a young girl, Jean worked on the farm riding the tractor, helping with the chickens, and raising a 4H calf or two along the way.
She met and married the “love of her life” Ron in 1950 and together they raised 5 children who adored them both.
Jean spent countless hours watching all of her children and grandchildren play sports from baseball, hockey, figure skating, volleyball, bowling, soccer, speed skating, and curling. She thoroughly enjoyed watching and cheering everyone on.
Jean was a homemaker at heart, keeping her active family organized and providing great meals for them. She was always welcoming an extra kid or two at the table, treating them as her own.
Jean was an avid golfer and enjoyed the game year-round. She and Ron became “Snow Birds” for a number of years, making many new friends from many different places in Canada and the US. Friendships with other Snow Birds lasted for many years and they often would visit each other during the summer months at various locations.
A Celebration of Life will be held in June 2023 when all of the family can be together.

Death notice for the town of: Lethbridge, Province: Alberta
We are sorry to hear of Jeans passing.We always looked forward to visiting when we were out in Alberta. We always had a wonderful visit with lots of laughs. Jean was a great lady with a huge heart. When the visit was over we always left with a warm hug and a full stomach, she always prepared a overwhelming meal with great variety even when we showed up at 7 in the morning. We will always have very warm memories of her and will always think of her when we head out to Lethbridge. Tim and Rhonda
