It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Contant (nee Melanson) in Huntsville Ontario on December 26, 2023.
Jean was born on September 13, 1930, in Kapuskasing Ontario, and married Donald in February 1952.
They started their life together in the northern community of Smoky Falls Ontario supporting Donald’s career with Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper.
The family moved to Kapuskasing in 1963 and then to Huntsville 10 years later.
Jean was a loving and supportive mother to her four children.
She worked for the home care system in Muskoka for many years.
She will be sadly missed by her children, Sharon Contant (Michael Raskas), Janet (Jim Spencer), Brian (Kelly), and Donna (Normand Gaudreault), and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She is predeceased by her husband Donald (2017), her mother Ida, her father Walter, and her brother Robert Melanson. She is survived by her brothers Earl (Buzzy) and Harold Melanson.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
