With sadness we note the passing of Mrs Abbott but we know she touched many as she did us. Always a cheery greeting when visiting Simon. The character of her children reflects so positively on her as a parent.
I will always have special and cherished memories of Jean, she was a dear friend.
My husband Dickson and I arrived from Scotland in 1971 and met Jean and Derrick through friends Ron & Eileen Benzie. Many happy memories of parties at the Benzie house, as well as other get togethers over the years. Jean was a very welcoming soul and shared much wisdom to help us settle in.
My husband and I returned to our native Scotland after 30 years in Oakville.
Eileen B has kept me updated about Jean for the past 25 years.
She lived a long and full life. I remember her with great fondness.
Jean was so lovely. Sad to hear of her passing. Our sincere condolences to the family.
We met the Abbott family in Port Credit Ontario in 1970 shortly after emigrating.
Jean was always such a happy cheerful friend who made us so welcome from the start. She maintained her positive attitude to life through all its ups and downs.
The photo chosen captures her perfectly and that is how Jean will always be remembered to those of us who hadn’t seen her for years.
I am saddened but also glad to have known her and her family to whom I send sincere condolences .
