Jacqueline Quincy Durrant

Quincy Durrant (nee Adams), on June 22, 2016. Predeceased by her

husband, Wilfred, and her beloved sisters, Marilyn and Edith, Jackie is

survived by her daughter Elizabeth (Michael), by her son David (Jennifer),

by her adored grandchildren Hannah and Kate, by her sister Dauna and by

her beloved pal Hazel.

Jackie was born on July 7, 1926 in Vancouver where she attended Lord

Bing High School. She was among the first female graduates of the

Physical Education Program in 1950 at UBC. She moved to Victoria to

begin her teaching career at S.J. Willis where she was delighted to meet

many life-long friends and her future husband whom she married in 1960.

She retired from teaching in the early seventies but maintained close

contact with the many friends she made along the way. About that time,

she and Wilfred bought property at Shawinigan Lake where they spent

many happy days. They would move to that residence permanently in

1984 after Wilfred’s retirement and would remain in the area for the rest of

their lives. In her own quiet and unassuming way, she was the best mother

anyone could ever ask for.

Jackie’s celebration of life service will be held at St. John’s Anglican

Church, Cobble Hill, BC on July 2 at 11:00 AM with reception to follow.

Arrangements under the direction of First Memorial Funeral Services, Duncan, BC.
