Obituary
Jones, Rev. Jean Stirrett (11 December 1930 – 31 January 2023) Peacefully at her home in Georgetown, Ontario after a long and fulfilling life and a brief illness. Beloved wife of Owen Jones (d. 2013). Loving mother of Glyn (Susan Allison-Jones), Sylvia Cutmore (Jonathan), Trevor, Donna, and Diana (d. 2010, Lawrence Isaac). Proud grandmother of Maeyken Jones (Rob Marsden), Adriaena Jones, Philip Cutmore (Pamela), Laura Cutmore, Ben Cutmore (Rachael), Emily Isaac, Evan Isaac, and Julia Isaac. Proud great grandmother of Liam Alcox, Ian Cutmore, and Miriam Cutmore. Mourning her loss are her two loving sisters, Kay McKellar (John), and Marion Stirrett (Donald Lange). Fondly remembered by special niece Sharlene Coss, caring friend and fellow minister Sue Hertell, and neighbour friend Vivian Kruger. Jean’s parents were John Ross Stirrett (d. 1967) and Marjorie McKay Stirrett (d. 1998). Jean was born and raised in Toronto and earned a BA in Geography and an MA in Social Work from Univ of Toronto, and a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel College, Toronto. Jean was the minister at Lakeview United Church in Mississauga, Hillcrest United Church and Bethel United Church in Georgetown. Jean and Owen travelled to many places in the world and explored North America in their camper. They spent many happy weeks each year at their beloved cottage, Dayspring, in Haliburton. After Owen’s death, Jean continued travelling and hiking with family and friends. Last summer, at the age of 91 she hiked to Wilcox Ridge, her favourite mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains. Jean had a deep faith that gave her strength, gratitude, kindness, and optimism that she shared with many other people.
