Jim and Jean spent many happy years farming in McKillop before settling in Dublin where Jean worked as a custodian at the school. She loved spending time with her large family. One of Jean’s greatest pleasures was playing cards … whether it was Friday night euchre parties on the farm with friends, weekends with family around the kitchen table or with her friends at their most recent home in Exeter. Many hours were spent in games of Rummy or Crib with Jim. Laughter, stories, food and drinks were always in abundance when she was around.
