Auntie Jean
Her artistry,
Her poetry,
Her slalom, and
Her style,
Her tenacity,
Her adventures
Her family, and
Hikes for miles.
Her humour
Her twinkle
Her pets
Her life style
Her paddle stroke,
Her knowledge,
Her longevity, and
Her smile
Auntie Jean was the matriarch of our family and the measuring stick of how to live life. We miss her so very much but her stories and our memories of her live.
All our love to you.

The first time I met Jean was in a writing group in the late 1970s. We had our get-togethers in an office space above Willis Harper hardware store. In those days she may have been the only published author among the half dozen or so attendees. That and her modesty about her accomplishments was an inspiration to quite a few of us aspiring authors. Later, I had the privilege of including her story "The Mountain Race" in an issue of Big Country Cariboo Magazine which I published in those days. Yet another story of hers has been read and seen by people around the world, for I took a group of young Quesnel actors and dancers to Expo 86 where we performed a theatre adaptation of her "The Princess Swan" at the BC pavilion. Subsequently that stage play has also been published in school readers in Ontario, Singapore and India.
Although I moved away in the late 1990s, Jean and I remained friends. We occasionally talked on the phone and met for lunch or a long chat whenever I made it back to the Cariboo, visiting family -- for I considered Jean to be just that -- family.
My condolences to Heather and everyone else in Jean's circle of loved ones.

Jean, I will always remember spending weekends at the cabin, exploring the hills round about, and how patient you were when I discovered all the wildflowers I'd never seen before and you had planned to hike further on!
When we skied up to the cabin there was an inversion and the snow stuck so thick on the dog he couldn't walk for the huge snowballs under his tummy. We had to stop and I had to empty my packsack because I had scissors at the bottom. We managed to cut off the snowballs. On the return journey I couldn't cope on the steep slopes so you talked me back down to Barkerville from corner to corner!
Great memories! You were such a special lady
Heather Smith
