Jean Mary Proctor

Obituary

Passed on

November 7, 1931 – February 16, 2026 

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Proctor (nee Summers), 94, of Woodlands, MB, on Monday, February 16, 2026, following a brief and unexpected illness. 

In her final days, she was surrounded by the love and care of her family, who were grateful for the time they had to be with her. Her passing leaves a profound emptiness in all our hearts. 

Jean was a devoted mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, beloved sister, and aunt. She was know as Granny not only to her family but to many others. Her kitchen was always open — a place where anyone could find a warm meal, a cold drink, cup of coffee or tea, and a welcoming chat. Her hands were rarely still; she found great joy in knitting and sewing, sharing her handmade creations with family and friends.  

Jean was strong-willed and deeply resilient, her strength carrying her through life’s greatest hardships, yet her mind remained sharp to the very end. Her strength, wisdom, and steady presence will be deeply missed and forever cherished. 

Jean will be lovingly remembered by her children Eldon (Carie), Weldon, Richard (Tracy), and son-in-law Gerald; her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren; her sisters Archeena (Trevor) Hogg and Edna Smith; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. She was predeceased by her husband, the love of her life, Dean, in 1975; her children Diane in 2018, Elaine in 2019, and Dennis in 2020; her parents Wilfred Summers in 1963 and Olive Toogood in 1989; and her sister Ruby Durrant in 2023. 

A private family celebration of Jean’s life will be held later this year.

The family extends their sincere appreciation to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Stonewall Hospital for their compassionate care.
