On Tuesday, April 13, 2021, Mrs. Jean Teresa Maria MacDonald of Osoyoos passed away peacefully with her family by her side.

Jean will be fondly remembered by her loving husband Norman of 53 years; children Mike (Sandra), Darcy (Ruth), Linda (Shaune) and April (Mel); grandchildren Erick, Matthew (Amy), Nicholas, Brody, Jordan, Emily and Sarah as well as extended family and friends.
Over the years, Jean worked at the Swedish Press from 1954 – 1959, McGavin’s Bakery from 1959 – 1967 and Sunnybank Centre from 1978 until her retirement in 1999. She was also a loving mommy and wife from 1963 – 2021.

My sincere sympathies to Jean’s family and friends. I had the privilege of working with Jean for 11 years at Sunnybank. She was so kind and caring and was wonderful to work with. She had a great sense of humour. The most important thing in her life was her family and she was so proud of her children and grandchildren. I’m so glad to have known her. May your memories of her give you comfort.
