Obituary of Jean Maupin

Jean Maupin passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 6, 2011 at the age of 85. She was predeceased by her husband Bill, and daughter Janice (Bob Phaneuf). Jean is survived by her son Kelly (Karen) and their children, Steve and Lisa of Regina and by Janice's daughter, Reva Valiukas of Surrey, BC. Jean is also survived by her sisters, Pauline, Helen and Lydia; brother Pete as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Though we will miss her deeply we are grateful for her life and all the memories. Jean grew up on a farm near Holdfast, then moved to work in Regina before marrying and starting a family. Jean spent many years as a homemaker and especially enjoyed gardening and camping. Jean ran the Lottery Kiosk in the Sherwood Village Mall, where her and Bill met many customers, many of whom became friends. Jean loved to travel and cherished trips to the Okanagan and Vancouver, as well as time spent at Crystal Lake. She really enjoyed spending time with grandchildren, liked to go out for supper and absolutely loved to read. We will always remember her immense talent for fashion - she was always "dressed to the nines." Jean has spent the past year living at the Renaissance Retirement Home where she renewed old friendships and made new ones. At Jeans request, there will be no funeral service. The family wishes to thank Unit 3D and the Palliative Care Unit at the Pasqua Hospital, the staff and residents of the Renaissance, our extended families, and many friends for their support. Family and friends so wishing may make a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Southern Saskatchewan, 917 Albert Street, Regina, SK, S4R 2P6 or to a charity of their choice.
