Obituary of Jean Isabelle Winchester

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Isabel Winchester (nee MacLeod) in her 95th year at Arbour Creek Care Centre, on November 24, 2023.

She is now reunited with her late husband Sydney, her son Billy and her parents John and Jessie MacLeod. She will be greatly missed by her children Susy (Rob), John, Bobby (Kim) and Sandy (Dave). Jean was a loving and proud Grandma and Gigi to her grandchildren Zachary (Jessica), Matthew (Pamela), Allison, Caitlin (Trevor), Justine, Austin, Danielle and Joshua, as well as her great-grandchildren Maya, Leo, Logan, Barrett, and Maeve. 

Jean worked for Ontario Hydro for over 35 years and had been retired since January 1993.  Jean was a fan of sports and loved to watch the Maple Leafs and Raptors. She enjoyed travel, reading, knitting, word search games, watching her favourite TV shows and without a doubt, made the world’s best lemon meringue pie. 

Aside from being missed by her family, she will be missed by so many friends, many who lovingly called her Mama Jean, Gramma Jean or Nana Jean. She truly was the strongest, bravest most independent and loving lady you could have ever known. Her smile would light up any room she entered. That smile will forever live on in our memories.

A Visitation and Service for Jean will be held Saturday, December 2, 2023 at the Donald V. Brown Funeral Home, Stoney Creek. Visitation is from 4 p.m.- 5 p.m, with the Service beginning at 5 p.m. To Livestream the Service, please CLICK HERE.
