    Age 74, of Falmouth, Hants County, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 in the VG Site - QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax. Born on May 1, 1950 in Payzant Memorial Hospital, Windsor, Jean was the eldest daughter of Thelma (Quinn) and the late Irvin Porter.

She enjoyed reading, watching documentaries, crafting and taking classes of interest. She enjoyed genealogy, diligently researching her family for years. Jean was a passionate textile artist. She followed her childhood dreams of learning to quilt and rug hook, being inspired by both of her grandmothers. This provided an outlet for Jean to express her artistic talents. Family and friends are fortunate owners of her artwork, which will continue to bring them joy from Jean into their homes.

    Jean valued her family and friendships deeply. She was always welcoming to new people she met. “Nan” was a loving, positive role model for her grandchildren. She was able to share her creativity and sense of fun with them whether it was playing games such as Chinese checkers and cards, decorating together for holidays, crafting, designing rug hook chair mats or tea parties.

    The family would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the nurses and doctors at the Victoria General Hospital for all of their efforts supporting Jean.

    A celebration of life will be held 2-4 p.m. Sunday, June 2 in the Wellwood Community Hall at Hantsport Baptist Church, 6 Willow St., Hantsport. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Jean may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 5826 South St., Halifax, NS B3H 1S6.
