Jean will be lovingly remembered by her special brother Alex who resided with her, as well as sisters Sandra Thistle and Noreen Borassa, sisters-in-law – Patsy Youden, Ruth Laird and Alfreda Pike, also many other relatives and friends – especially dear friends in her bridge club of many years.
Jean is predeceased by her parents Clara & Alexander (Sandy) Thistle, parents-in-law Harold & Marion Pike and brothers-in-law Sidney Pike, Walter Youden and Glen Laird.

Dear Lynda and Sandra, I am so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. I realize she had not been well but it is still difficult to lose a loved one. I am so glad we had the opportunity to visit her at Salmonier this past summer. She was a good neighbor and I appreciated her keeping me informed when I was not at the cottage. My thoughts go to Bern who will miss her terribly after their many years together. With my deepest sympathy Jeanette Walshl
To the Thistle family: Sorry to hear of Mrs Thistle’s passing. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting this very gracious lady many times during her visit to St Luke’s Chapel services. I shall cherish the memory of two years ago at Christmas she bought me a little box of candy in appreciation for my playing every week for Alex’s enjoyment.. RIP Mel Earle
Sincere condolences, Lynda. It was a pleasure playing Bridge with your mother.

Dear Bern, Alex, Lynda and Dave. I am very sorry to hear about Jean’s illness and death. Cancer sucks! Especially when it takes away the ones you love. I am in Ottawa now but I am with you in spirit at St. James church today. I have so many happy memories of growing up with you all on the Salmonier Line.
