Passed away peacefully on September 17th at the age of 78. Jean was born in Halifax on August 21st, 1944, to Patrick Carty and Janie Walsh Carty. Beloved sister of Donnie and Colleen Carty, niece of the late Charlie Walsh, and aunt of Katherine Stratton, Jean will be remembered above all for her wicked sense of humour, her generosity, and the love she had for her family, friends and all of the animals that crossed her path.
Colleen and Katherine would like to thank James Mair for his support and help during this time, as well as the doctors, nurses and staff at the V.G. Palliative Care unit for their excellent care of Jean during her brief stay with them. At Jean’s request there will be no service, but donations can be made in her name to Souls Harbour Rescue Mission or Feed Nova Scotia.
