Lydia "Jean" Isobel Yule

Jean passed away peacefully on Friday Sept. 19, 2025, in hospice care. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Grant. She leaves behind her sister Beth Unger, her children; (Grant) Wayne (Cyndie), Tim (Kelly), Heather Coville (Ken), Scott (Maggie) as well as her beloved grandchildren; Daniel, (Darcy), Kasandra Weibe (Blake), Alisha Sarrazin, Ashley Gauthier (James), Darby (Vanessa), Christopher, Marcus Nagy (Katlin), Erin, and seven great grandchildren: Scarlet, Axel, Layla, Zane, Quinn, Charlie, and Ella.

Jean was full of energy and light through to her final days. Her devotion to her Christian faith, her husband Grant; and to her family was unwavering, guiding her actions and inspiring to all that knew her.

She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of having Jean as part of their lives, especially her family. Jean faced nearly a century of change with boundless courage, sharp wit, and resilience. Through it all, Jean met every challenge with grace, never loosing her keen sense of humor - even in the face of such adversity. She lived through the Great Depression, World War II, moving to France as a military wife with four small children, the Covid pandemic and caring for her husband through a difficult illness. Through all these trials her indomitable sprint and sense of humor always found a way to shine through.

She was an active participant in numerous Seniors Games (learning to run well into her 60’s) often proudly winning her events. She led many Christian’s Women’s events throughout the years as well as Bible studies groups right up to her final days. Jean loved music, dancing and telling jokes often forgetting the punchline making the joke even funnier. She was an excellent seamstress, sewing her own clothing and that of her children. The Grandchildren sleepovers will be fondly remembered by all of the Grandchildren as they got to experience the playfulness and creative side of their Grandmother. They especially loved receiving text messages from her after she learned how to text well into her 90’s!
