Obituary of Jean Boos

Just weeks from her 90th birthday, Jean Boos, formerly of Essex, Ontario, passed peacefully at Mount Hope Centre for Long Term Care in London. Jean was born to Ruth (Laird) and Eldon Graham. She was pre-deceased by siblings Jamie, Annabel and Isobel (`Sug`) and husband, Bernard. Jean is survived by children Ruth-Ann, Mary, Margaret and Stephen (Diane); grandchildren Michael (Kandace) and Christine; and great-grandchildren Caleb and Junia. Jean had a passion for picking (fruits & vegetables), playing (Windsor Light Opera), ushering (just about every theatre in Windsor and Detroit) and driving (many cars worn out). In addition to being a mother and wife, she also worked as a bookkeeper for several decades. Jean spent her last five years at Mount Hope where she received incredible care by very kind-hearted and capable medical and assistive staff. They are highly esteemed, deeply appreciated and will be long remembered by her family. A memorial service will be held at Forest City Community Church, 3725 Bostwick Road, London, on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. A graveside interment service will be held on Friday, April 27, 2018 at Trinity Anglican Church in Cottam, Ontario at 1:30 p.m. A reception will follow in the church hall.
