We Remember
WILSON, Jean
—
1933 – 2023
Sadly, we announce the passing of Jean Wilson on July 19, 2023.
Jean was a longtime Okanagan resident. Her life took her back and forth between Alberta and BC, before she eventually retired in Kelowna.
Jean was always willing to lend an ear and provide sound advice. She harboured a hint of mischief and loved a good-natured prank. Her quick wit and contagious laughter will be greatly missed. She loved all animals and enjoyed the companionship of many dogs over the years. Jean found great joy in spending time with her family and was thrilled to be a great-grandmother.
Jean was predeceased by her children, Lee-Ann Zieske (d. 2008) and Darcy Wilson (d. 2013). Left to mourn are her grandchildren: Sarah, Aaron, Kayla, Bradley, Tyler, and Lisa, and her great-grandchildren: Tallulah, Clover, Easton, Norah, Mickey, Hayden, Leo, Kalida, Kaya, and Roman.
Her family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Spiess, and to the staff at Village at Smith Creek in West Kelowna for the wonderful environment and care that they provided Jean with for the past 2 years.
In keeping with Jean’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. She will be honoured in the hearts of those who had the joy of knowing her.

Jean was my father’s, Floren Armen LaPointe, younger sister. Jean was well loved. We will miss her.
To Antie Jean’s family, my deepest condolences to all of you in this time. I share your grief. She was a great Aunt.
Auntie Jean lived with us in Calgary for quite a few years, probably a bit unfortunate for her, they were our teenage years. It couldn’t have been easy for her, but we loved her very much. She never was angry or raised her voice at us, although I suspect we needed exactly that. She had beautiful skin and a lovely smile and black, perfect hair. Rest in peace, Auntie Jean, with all your brothers, sister, and mom and dad. My condolences to our family in B.C.
