Archibald, Alma Jean “Jean”

October 28, 1928 – October 14, 2018

Jean Archibald (nee Thomson) of Craik, Sask. passed away surrounded by her loving family on October 14, 2018. Jean was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Eldon, in 2010; granddaughter Carla Mohr in 2012 and son-in-law Doug Wolfe in 2018.

Jean is survived by her 8 children: Janice Wolfe, Shirley (Eugene) Mohr, Brenda (Adrian) Schindel, June (Kevin) Tallentire, Cathy (Wade) Hassett, Heather (Randy) Schwabe, Bev (Terry) Reich and Jim (Anne) Archibald. Jean was blessed with 23 grandchildren, 44 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandson. She is also survived by sister Irene (Bill) Shields and brother Gordon Thomson.

Jean’s greatest love in life was her husband Eldon and all her family. She absolutely loved the annual family camping get-togethers, always had a pot of coffee on with some kind of baking for never-ending visitors and the Jok-R-Ummy cards shuffled and ready to go. She will be greatly missed. There will be a private family service at Jean’s request.

For those so wishing, memorial donations in memory of Jean may be directed to the Craik & District Memorial Fund. Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson in care of arrangements.
