With her family at her side, Jean peacefully passed on Friday, August 1st, 2014, in her 88th year. We feel sorrow at the loss of such a wonderful woman, but we move forward with gratitude and gratefulness for all she has taught us – and all we have grown to be – is because of her. “Mother, Grandmother, Great grandmother, Aunt and Friend.” Predeceased by her husband James Wilfred (Jerry) in December 1979, Jean is survived by her 4 children: David German (Brenda Campbell), Kathy Hickling (Reg Gordon), Donna Maes (Ken Maes) and Cindy Denstedt.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the wonderful staff at Middlesex Terrace in Delaware for their care, love and support.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I remember Mrs. German very well as I grew up on Laurentian Drive N and have many happy memories of playing with the neighbourhood kids and talking to their parents. I recall that Mrs. German was always very friendly and she made the BEST ever peanut butter cookies, and was always very happy to share them with me! When I think about knocking on her door in search of PB cookies, I smile, and will remember, with fond memories, our special neighbour across the road. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Tami Ewart Wyatt

Mrs. German was an amazing person, someone I have known for my whole life. I remember playing in her basement and dancing to the Beatles. She made everyone feel welcome in her home. Mrs. German was a wonderful neighbour and friend from Laurentian Drive North and she will not be forgotten. I would like to express my sincere condolences to all of the German Family on the loss of their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. My thought and prayers are with you.
