Jean Huber

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Jean Catherine Huber (nee Adams) of Kenosee Lake, SK. Jean lost her battle to cancer on the morning of March 15 at Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle, SK with her family by her side.

Jeannie loved many things, but she was most generous with her love to family and friends. She lived life with great joy, happiness and excitement- especially when a mischievous prank was involved or some dog was sharing some love with her. Jeannie loved to laugh and her joy was contagious, what a pleasure it was to be around her! She welcomed everyone with her beautiful smile and had a way of making each and everyone feel special, she loved to brighten peoples' days, and there was nothing that brightened her day more than to be around and helping the people she loved.

Born to Alex and Grace Adams in Arcola on October 10, 1947 the second youngest of five children. Jeannie loved growing up on the family farm and had so many stories to tell of their early days and adventures. Jeannie was always active throughout her life, and as a young athlete especially enjoyed competing in figure skating and track and field. As an adult, she enjoyed slo-pitch, curling, golf, hiking and kayaking but was always up for whatever you would suggest! Jeannie also loved tending to her beautiful yard full of flowers! There was nothing more important to her than her children and all her grandchildren, she was so proud of all of us!!

Jeannie grew up in Arcola, SK area but then moved to Windsor, ON as a young adult where she obtained employment with Canada Post and raised her children Chad, and later Dawn. Dawn and Jeannie later moved to be closer to family to Brandon, MB and later Saskatoon, SK where Jean eventually retired from Canada Post. In retirement, Jeannie did some travelling then decided to spend some time at Kenosee Lake, SK working at the golf course for fun and to keep herself busy. It didn't take too long before Jeannie was reunited with Chuck - her high school sweetheart, and even less time before they decided to marry and live the rest of their lives together. Jeannie and Chuck have spent the last 19 years together travelling, laughing, dancing, living life and making wonderful memories together.

Jean was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Grace Adams and by her brother, David Adams.

Jeannie brought a special light and energy wherever she went with her beautiful smile and cheerful mood. She made us all feel so special, we already miss her so much.
