Condolences for the family of “CRERAR: Ruby “Jean” (Ingram) of Exeter”
Very saddened Beth, Dan and families to hear of the passing of your dear Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Jean was a special lady and her neighbors are going to miss her very much!
Beth, Gary and Family,
We were saddened to learn of Jean’s passing on Saturday. Jean was my mom’s hairdresser and cut my hair a few times as well. Jean and Al were then the custodians at Hensall Public School and my mom had the privilege of seeing them every day. I do recall a few of their chats as mom would share when she got home. Jean was a lovely lady and very creative. Sarah had a bunny that your mom had made. It received a lot of love over the years.
We will be thinking of all of you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
That candy dish will be now be very treasured Beth.
Hugs, Doug, Sharon and Sarah Kyle
