ZUPAN, Jean Carole (nee Ritter)
Jean joined her energy to our universe after many years of fighting every manner of disease and infection. There was no warrior as strong as her.
Jean was born and raised in Port Colborne, formally educated in Toronto where she returned as a master beautician, proudly working at the Bon Ton in Port Colborne for decades, starting her own home hairdressing business after adopting her daughter and dedicating her everything to being the best wife, Mom and Nana in the world.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Amy and Keith, her precious grandson, Julian, her best friends of 50+ years, Carol and Joyce, and her newest best buddy, Bruce the cat.
Jean is predeceased by her husband of 47 years, Bob (Zupe), her sister and brother-in-law (Goldie and Jim), her parents, Bertha and Alex, and her beloved, Dude.
She was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan and bingo player with an amazing sense of humour, and a heart as big as Canada.
Cremation has taken place. She will be laid to rest, in a private family graveside service beside Bob, at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Port Colborne at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Niagara Falls/Welland SPCA would be greatly appreciated. https://donate.mytributegift.org/?cid=673e383535480d79c31d4194140afb5469bc39b7b2bdd6b78676b853f5431c3f&fh=FRP-308918&fp=3089186b5c6c0632d102cc0b9fbb841d8e
