Jean Jones

On November 9, 2026 our family lost their “rock”.

Jean passed peacefully, surrounded by her family, at Arbour Trails in her 98th year.

She was the beloved wife of the late Ron Jones (1999). Mother of Martin Jones (Diane), Christine Jones (Brian Lutes) and Susan Cremasco (Richard). The always present and involved GX (grandma) of Jennifer Blake (Adrian), Simon Jones (Lisa), Philip Jones (Kyra), Justin Cremasco, Mark Cremasco (Dana), Andrew Cremasco (Karla) and Alexander Cremasco (Fiance Chloe). She was the adoring Great Grandma to Rylie, Emmett, Tristan, and Lachlan Jones, Owen and Dax Blake, and Maeve, Hallie and Lewis Cremasco.

Jean & Ron were born in England and in1966 they emigrated to Canada with their 3 children. Jean became a volunteer at Sunnydale, the local school for the developmentally delayed. She upgraded her British teaching certificate and became a teacher, acquiring a job at Sunnydale. She was a firm believer and forerunner in integration. Jean and a fellow teacher succeeded in opening and filling a class in Centennial High School, integrating her students into their place in the world. Proving successful, they proceeded with a 2nd class in John F. Ross High School, opening the doors for many future opportunities in the world of inclusion.
