Jean started work at the Shoal Lake #40 Child Care Centre February 1, 1982 as a teacher and gradually worked her way up to supervisor of the Child Care Centre. She lovingly brought up so much kids in the community where she became everyone’s kookum. She made long friends that she held close to her heart, Verena and Christine. The three ladies started at the Child Care Centre. Jean accomplished so much in her life, one of her biggest accomplishments was that she graduated in 1996 with her ECE, only going into college with only her grade 6.

She grew up close to her cousin Jane. Not a day went by where they were not on the phone with each other or visiting one another. Her and Jane were like sisters. She was always happy to go back to Pinecrest because Jane was waiting.

Jean enjoyed going to church. She traveled all over to tent meetings making life long fiends. She enjoyed baking, every Christmas she would bake pies and gift them out to people. She was always having family dinners. Jean will be missed for her love and support she was the one everyone went to.

Pallbearers will be Cory, Troy, Curtis, Darcey, Isaiah, Percy, Jeremy and Jeffrey.

Wake will start on November 2, 2025 and the Shoal Lake 40 Band Office Gym at 11:00 am and Service will be led by Larry Laquette on Monday November 3, 2025 at 11:00 with a feast to follow.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the Pinecrest Home. The nurses and staff took care excellent care of our Mother Jean Redsky.
