The family moved to Camrose in 1955. They eventually bought a farm in 1963 where they resided until 2007 when they moved into a condo in Camrose. Alan and Jean moved to Rosealta Lodge and finally to Sunrise Village. Jean was a farm wife and mother but also was a bookkeeper for the Church of God and The Canadian Board of Missions. She held this job for 38 years. Jean loved to cook and bake. Family, friends and neighbors were often the lucky recipients of her baked goods. She was an avid sports fan and in later years she rarely missed her grandchildren's sporting events. Jean was a lover of animals and they had the best fed animals around. Jean was very family orientated as well as a devout Christian all her life.
