In Loving Memory ~ Jean Margaret Watt passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the age of 93, surrounded by the love of her family. Family was always at the heart of Jean’s life. Together with her beloved late husband, Dave, she raised four children: Kathy, who sadly predeceased her earlier this year; Anne Watt (Buchanan); John Watt; and Roger Watt. Her love extended to their spouses, 11 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy and pride. Jean treasured the simple pleasures of family life: visits for tea and freshly baked scones, lively games of UNO, family dinners, a granddaughter’s recent wedding, and countless happy memories at the family cabin on Hornby Island. Her home was always a welcoming place, with room for one more at the table. Jean grew up in Nilestown, Ontario, attended Western University, and trained as a dietitian.
