It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful
passing of Jean Isobel Ball on July 25, 2022 at the tender age of 95
years.
Jean was born in Walsall, England on September 3, 1927. She
left England in 1962 with her husband and daughter to immigrate to
Canada. They settled in Pickering, Ontario and then Oshawa, Ontario.
In 1990, after a few years of retirement, Jean and Joe followed their
daughter and son-in-law to settle in Moncton and finally Riverview,
New Brunswick.
Jean lived a long, healthy life that saw her travelling the
world on her own until the age of 86. Gardening was her passion, and
no one planted and tended the quintessential English country garden as
she did. She worked for K-Mart until her retirement in 1987. In
addition to travelling and gardening, she loved dancing, singing,
camping, bird watching, reading, long car drives and watching re-runs
of the Lawrence Welk show on Saturday nights.
Jean was the 5th of six children born to Amy and Tom Morgan
and was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was
pre-deceased way too soon, by her husband Joe in 1993. Also, brothers
Ted and Sonny and sisters Ruby, Gertie and Beryl; all of England. She
is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, all of England, and her
only child and son-in -law Janeen and John Martin of Riverview, New
Brunswick.
Words are not enough to extend our profound thanks to the
entire staff of the Kenneth E. Spencer Memorial Home, which was Mum’s
residence over the past two years. You were all with Mum in her final
days on this earth and treated her with respect, kindness and dignity
that we all deserve. For that, you will be forever in our
hearts.
In honouring Mum’s request, there will be no funeral service
and cremation has taken place.
If you can find it in your purse, in your hearts or in your
time, please donate or do something kind for the Kenneth E. Spencer Memorial
Home and their residents. The home is always so grateful for
any form of volunteer work or donations. Just give them a phone call.
Any support is a huge support for these selfless, devoted caregivers
who give so much to loved ones who can no longer care for
themselves.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Tuttle Brothers &
Riverview Funeral Home 214 Pine Glen Rd. Riverview, NB (506)
857-9544.
