December 1925 – February 2022.
It is with great sadness we announce the death of Jean Chambers at the grand old age of 96 years.
Jean is survived by her children Gary, Martin, and Julie (Annie) Chambers. She is predeceased by her husband Lewis, parents: George and Rose Brown and brother Donald Brown.
Jean was born in London England. Jean sang from the time she was a little girl and as a young woman sang with the D’ Oyly Carte Opera company. Jean grew up during the second world war in the heart of London and married Lewis, a veteran of that war in 1948.
Jean and family emigrated to Canada in 1956 settling there until the traumatic death of Lewis in 1984. Jean returned to England for 7 years only to return to BC again in 1991. Jean was an artist at heart and enjoyed years as a member of the Ashcroft Artist Community until her early 90s. Jean loved her 4-legged companions and was never without a dog or two.
Whether it was a result of growing up amid a war or the violent loss of her husband Jean was an incredibly resilient and compassionate woman. She was generous to a fault and known to share her last ‘bob’ or chocolate. Jean had an infectious smile with twinkling blue eyes, she retained her sense of humor until the very end. Jean loved her children, family and friends and she was much loved in return.
We are very grateful to the Overlander care and recreation staff on Elm Unit. They were kind and caring to Jean and went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe and connected during a very difficult time.
