Jean Bain

Obituary of Jean Anderson Bain

Passed peacefully on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at the age of 85 at Grand River Hospital, Kitchener. Loving wife of the late John Bain; mother of John (Sue), Doug and Laura (Gus); mother-in-law to Cindy; grandmother of Aidan, Nicole and Brendan; sister of George Gibson and Mamie Milicia. She was surrounded by her loving children but slipped from our hands only 10 days after the passing of John, her beloved husband of 59 years. Jean began a new life in 1967 moving to Canada with John leaving her hometown of Dumbarton, Scotland. Her sacrifice, love and support were instrumental in establishing a new happy home. She remained close to her roots with frequent travels to see her beloved mother and brother in Scotland and dear sister in Connecticut. Jean thrived in Kitchener and derived great joy serving as a volunteer for 34 years at the Grand River Hospital, as a member of the PROBUS Women’s Club of Kitchener-Westmount, and partaking in Scottish country dancing. Jean was embraced by a group of wonderful friends who enriched her life. She was eternally grateful for their friendship, love and support throughout her life including through the recent health challenges both she and John faced. She had a gentle, innocent and empathetic soul. Our broken hearts can begin to mend knowing her journey continues with her husband, soulmate and love of her life, John, hand in hand, together in the embrace of The Lord. A private service in celebration of her life will be held at the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home. Condolences for the family and memorial donations to the Grand River Hospital Foundation, Kitchener may be arranged by contacting the funeral home at www.erbgood.com or 519-745-8445.
