I was very shocked to hear of Jeans passing. I had the pleasure of working with her in my early 20s out on the base as well as for Cals. She had such a kind heart and always made me feel like I was heard. She spoke so highly of the 3 boys in her life. I can remember all those years ago that she was planning for the time that she grew old with her husband... the home they’d have, what she hoped for her kids. I send the tightest hugs to her family. The grief journey begins the day we lose our loved one and doesn’t end until we meet them again. ❤️

It is rare to find a heart as big as Jean's. I learned so much from her and the compassion, thought, care, and love she put into every action. When I was posted to Wainwright MP Platoon, she immediately made sure I felt at home. She and Kim invited me over for delicious dinners, she taught me how to make red pepper jelly, she offered to take care of my foster cat, Cali, anytime I was away, which ultimately helped me decide to adopt her (one of the best decisions of my life), and the list can go on and on. She was always thinking of others. At Christmas, she would make personalized Christmas bulbs. For birthdays, she would order or make personalized birthday cakes. At Halloween, she put so much work into her costume for the Haunted House, ensuring it felt real for the young visitors. She was truly a role-model. Her beauty was so plentiful inside and out. It always blew me away how gorgeous she could make a Cmre uniform look!
To Kim, Shawn, and Matthew: I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I will always remember the way Jean talked about each of you at work or during our dinner/lunch dates. It was always with absolute pride and unrelenting admiration. Kim, you were clearly her best friend and she was so thankful to have found you. She loved the life you lived together, and the home you made in Wainwright. Shawn and Matthew, I know we didn't really meet, but I feel like I know you from the amount of stories I heard. All about how well you were doing in life, how incredible your girlfriends were, and more. I even joined Jean at one of your lacrosse games, where she explained the rules of the game to me (it was my first). She loved being at the arena and was so proud of each of your achievements.
I will forever cherish the memories I have of Jean, and am so blessed to have met her. <3

Stuart and I wish to send our deepest condolences to you Kim, and your family. Jean was such a bright spot in our Voila family. I was unpacking some Christmas ornaments the other day and my thoughts immediately went to her, remembering how much she loved Christmas and looking at all the newest goodies. And I will always treasure our trip together a few years ago to visit the Princess Diana exhibition in Edmonton. Such a fun day. We will miss her terribly. Much love to you all ...

To say this beautiful woman was heaven sent is first and foremost. She blessed all that knew her with her generosity, kindness and true love of all beating hearts. Everybodys puppers as she called them got extra love and treats and knew as soon as they heard her loving call they were about to get something very delicious...sometimes even cooked up by her from home especially for them and sneakily given to them while their fur parents weren't looking Jean Louise brightened everyone's day with her greetings of hi honey baby or sweetheart. Her beautiful perfumes enhancing her bright aura and her high heels clittity clacking on the tile floors are memories I cherish dearly. I was blessed to work with her the 5 years but feel like I have known her my whole life. When you had a heart to heart conversation with Jean it was a connection like no other. We weathered a few storms together and even had a few disagreements in early years that made our connection of recent that much stronger. We had each other's backs and helped each other cope with the stresses that work threw our way. The night of her passing we had had one of these long heartfelt conversations on the phone. Interrupted a few times by work... ehem work?...but I will be forever grateful for that night and the talk we shared. We talked about faith mostly and because of our deep conversation she stopped by the Det on her way home to give me a hug. Best hug ever. I think somehow she subconsciously knew that Jesus was preparing her wings. Way too soon dear Lord but I will have trust that the reasons for taking her so soon outweigh the heartbreak her beautiful family that she loves so dearly is feeling now. My love and prayers to you Kim, Shawn, Matthew and the Girls while you try to find a way to cope. Beautiful Jean Louise...rest easy my girl....until we meet again.

Kim and boys - words cannot express my sadness upon hearing this horrible news. She was such a cool lady! I have so many great memories of her and you and your family. Her and I tracked many miles around Wainwright in the early mornings attempting to "get healthy". We were each other's therapy - we talked about it all. But really I think she liked to walk with me so she could harass me about my obsession (at the time) with the BeeGees... I can't hear a song of theirs without hearing her tease me! She really was the best - she showed up at my house on my last night in Wainwright - when I moved to B.C. - in her pajamas just to spend the last bit of time with me... Like I said - so many great memories! She loved her family, so devoted to her boys - no one more than her. She will be so missed. She touched so many people in a positive way. God bless, Kim (Maureen Mior)

Kim, Shawn and Katelynn, Matthew and Sydney I have so many great memories of the Murphy’s from my years of painting lessons. All the laughter, Jeans interest and genuine care for people, her creativity and talent (both in painting the great pieces Kim crafted for us, and her fabulous cooking she shared during special projects), and her love of animals. Jean was genuine, warm, and loving and the world is a little less bright without her. Sending all of you prayers for healing and for peace in your memories as you grieve this incredible loss. Much Love, Glenda

Painting in Jean's studio was such an important activity I thoroughly enjoyed as a young mom-even though I wasn't particularly good at it. Jean was always patient and kind and ended up tweaking the shading and highlighting. We networked, had coffee and painted. I hope she knew how awesome we all thought she was. Kim, Shawn and Matthew please know the Mitchell family's thoughts are with you at this time.
