Obituary for Jean Helen Morris
JEAN HELEN MORRIS
(nee LABUIK)
With heartfelt sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Jean Helen Morris on November 4, 2012.
She will be forever cherished by her husband Tom; children: Jim (Janice), Andy and Wendy; grandchildren: Justin (Jennifer), Jillian (Jace), Jamie and Darcy.
Jean was born on November 1, 1928 on Elk Ranch, Manitoba. She was the fifth in a family of twelve born to Andrew and Mary Labuik. She was predeceased by her parents; sisters: Ann White, Pauline Vermette, Elizabeth Asselin, Helen Labuik; brother John Buick; one nephew and one niece.
She is survived by sisters: Jessie Kay, Margaret (Mike) Zazula, Lorraine (Tom) Melnyk; brothers: Victor (Ann) Buick, Steve (Bernice) Labuick, Donald (Marion) Labuick; and Tom’s brothers Norman (Della), Gilbert (Margaret); as well as, many nieces and nephews.
In 1950, she married Thomas Morris. In 1953, they moved to the little white house in Fort Rouge to raise their children and to become “Mom and Pop” to many children in the area. Their home became the local drop in centre, filled with love, great food and treasured memories.
Jean was active in her children’s schools, church and community activities. Her passion was watching her children and especially her grandchildren participate in their sporting events.
She loved spending her summers on the front porch of the cottage at Grand Beach being with family, watching the birds and the beach goers.
Jean was a self taught seamstress who could sew or make anything. Her Christmas baking was always in demand along with her homemade canned goods: pickles, beets, jams and jellies. She was the queen of removing stains from clothing.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to the amazing staffs at Riverview Health Centre 1C and Misericordia Health Centre, Cornish 2, for their compassionate care and support.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Jean’s life will be held on Friday, November 30 at 2:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street. If friends so desire, donations may be made in memory of Jean to a charity of one’s choice.
