Jean Frances Kilbasco

Loving mother of Shelley (Kevin) Williams of Goderich. Cherished Nan of Kyle (Jessica) Williams and proud Gigi to Charlotte, who was a special light in her life.

Jean will be dearly missed by her sister Marilyn (the late Ben) Fudge, her brother Walter (Betty) Kielbasa and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Jean (née Kunda), and by her siblings Allan, Ted, Edward and Isobel.

Jean dedicated 45 years of service to Kauffman Footwear in Kitchener and took great pride in her work and the many friendships she made there over the years. She was known for her fun-loving personality, her warm smile, and the joy she brought to those around her. Family meant everything to Jean, and she was always incredibly proud of them.

In recent years, Jean greatly enjoyed the friendships and sense of community she found at Harbour Hill Retirement in Goderich, where she shared many happy moments with those around her.

Jean will be remembered for her kind heart, her cheerful spirit, and the love she had for her family and friends.

Family will receive guests at Westmount Memorial Celebration Centre, 1001 Ottawa St., S., Kitchener, on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, for visitation from 11:00 am until the time of service at 12:00 pm. Private family burial.

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Childcan.
