Closer to home, she took the train to the Rocky Mountains and a favourite destination was always Algonquin Park. Jean's gifts of laughter, story telling, letter writing, hospitality and generosity helped her develop and sustain many wonderful friendships around the world. Jean's service to others ranged from knitting dolls for charities to book keeping for church organizations to providing meals and support to many friends and family.
