JEAN KLEPACHEK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my beloved Mom, Jean on August 12, 2018. She was born in Lacombe, Alberta on October 4, 1932. Jean was predeceased by her loving husband Peter on October 3, 2016. Jean attended Enderby High School, where she was President of the Student Body, played basketball and won awards for drama. She attended Victoria Normal for her teacher training, which she continued a teaching career for 25 years. Peter and Jean were married in 1956. Together were blessed with 60 years of happy times raising their two precious daughters, Betty Jean and Donna Diane and later on there were four grandkids: Mitch, Heather, Duncan and Jay. Her hobbies included square dancing, swimming, gardening and sewing. She and Peter traveled across Canada, to Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Cuba and also took three cruises. Jean was a member of Pine Ridge Golf Course and enjoyed spending time with her many friends. She was involved with the retired teachers, Operation Red Nose and the BC Hydro Power Pioneers, which she was instrumental in forming the Kamloops Branch and was President for several years.
