Jean worked as a Registered Nurse. She began her career in Terrace Bay, Ontario where she met her future husband and married in Port Arthur on August 10, 1955 and then settled in Schreiber, Ontario where they raised their family for many years.

Harvey’s job with Canadian Pacific Railway took them for sojourns in Cartier, Sudbury and North Bay. She was a member of the St. Peter’s Parish Catholic Women’s League for twenty-three years.

Jean enjoyed her volunteer activities at St. Peter’s and at the Family Enrichment Program. During retirement Jean and Harvey took much joy in their international travels.
