WOODWARD: Jean (Fortier) of Lucan, formerly of Wasaga Beach and London

July 25, 2023 By Haskett Funeral Homes 33 Condolences

WOODWARD: Jean (Fortier) of Lucan, formerly of Wasaga Beach and London

It is with great sadness that the family of Jean Woodward wishes to share her passing at Jessica’s House Hospice on Monday, July 24, 2023. Jean is survived by her devoted and loving husband, Irwin of 64 years. Jean is also survived by her children Donna (Shawn), Cathy (Sam), Jim (Kelli), and Joanne (John).  Jean was so proud of all of her 9 grandchildren (predeceased by Maxwell), 3 great grandchildren and her great great grandchild. She will be missed by them all. Our mom was a sheer pleasure to have known. Dearly loved by her sisters Hazel and Kay, brother-in-law Bob and sisters-in-law Gail, Barbara, Deb, and Marion. The love of her nieces, nephews and many dear friends meant so much to her. Predeceased by her parents and her 6 siblings.

Our mom lived a good life and brought joy to all who had the good fortune to know her. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at South Huron Hospital in Exeter for the wonderful care.

Family and friends are invited to Haskett Funeral Home, 223 Main Street, LUCAN on Monday, July 31st at 10:45 AM, for Jean’s memorial service at 11 AM. Cremation has taken place.

Stream the service live or at your convenience by visiting www.facebook.com/haskettfh (no account required).

In lieu of flowers, donations to Jessica’s House would be appreciated by the family.

    It saddens us to have not been there today for Auntie Jeanie’s Memorial Service with all of you.
    But please know we are thinking of everyone during this difficult time.
    Loved hearing that little bit of her story and how she touched so many of us with her personality, laughter and that beautiful smile.
    We will miss her deeply and please know how much her loss is shared by us.
    Wish we could have had more visits over the last years as we enjoyed them so much. We will however be grateful for the ones we did have in OBA and all those special occasions.
    I (Gina) will hold deep in my heart the years in North Bay during our daughters Figure Skating competitions as we always met up to catch up. Lots of laughter and joy❤️
    May your loving memories of her and special times help comfort all of you today and always

    Love Bruce , Gina, Katrina and Sarah
