Jean Ann Jane STIRLING

STIRLING, Jean (Ann Jane) On Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto. A beloved, though most unconventional, mother and grandmother, Jean was predeceased in 1994 by her best friend, Stanley John Stirling. Beloved mother of Ann Elwood, Brantford; Lynn Mowbray (Graham), St. John's, Newfoundland; Jack Stirling (Deidre), Ottawa; and Jim Stirling (Jennifer Graham), Burlington. Granny of Kevin Elwood, Jimmy Mowbray, Ian, Alison and Michael Stirling. Mom lived her life with gusto. After a 25 year career at The Bay, Mom retired to travel the world, volunteer at the Toronto Zoo, play bridge and enjoy life. Special gratitude to Maureen Perry and Noonie Yarker who have become family. Special thanks to Dr. Carolyn Iwasa and to the Internal Medicine Team at St. Michael's. Friends and relatives will be received at Jerrett Funeral Home, 660 Kennedy Rd., Scarborough (between Eglinton and St. Clair Ave, E.) on Thursday, September 6, 2007 from 7 to 9 p.m. A Memorial Service to celebrate Mom's life will be held on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 11 a.m. in the Funeral Home Chapel. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate donations to Doctors Without Borders or the charity of your choice. Published in the Ottawa Citizen on 8/25/2007
