 It is with sadness that we announce that Jean passed away peacefully on Sunday at Hilltop Manor, Merrickville, in her 94^th year. Jean was the much loved only daughter of Fred and Myrtle (Hyndman) Dougall of Merrickville. The childhood sweetheart and loving wife of the late Merlin Edson Wilson. Beloved mother of Catharine (Matthew Sutton) and Julie (Terry Turcotte). Cherished Grandma to Kaitlin and Cameron Turcotte (Samantha Wong) and Anna and Charlie Sutton (Katrina Allison), and great grandma to Nathan Turcotte.

Jean graduated from Whitby Ladies College, then Kingston General Hospital, and nursed before marrying. She and Merlin then made Kemptville their home, where they raised their family and eventually retired.  Jean lovingly supported her family’s endeavours. She will be remembered fondly by family and friends for her delicious cooking, generous hospitality, love for her kitties, crafts, genealogy, and all-around loving care.

A Celebration of Life will be held 20 May 2023, 11 am to 1 pm (eulogy at 11:30), at the Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville. Donations may be made to Muscular Dystrophy, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Lanark Animal Welfare Society, or St. John’s United Church Kemptville. The family thanks the compassionate staff at Bayfield Manor (Kemptville) and Hilltop Manor.
