With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Jean B. Forest, OC, on January 10th, 2024, in Victoria, British Columbia. Born on July 24th, 1926, in Minitonas, Manitoba, Canada, Jean was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Jean was the devoted spouse of JH Rocky Forest, who preceded her in death. Together, they raised seven children: Ric, Leanne, Dan, Michelle, Karen, Rosalyn, and Tom. She was a source of love and support for her family, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and care. As a deeply spiritual individual, Jean's wisdom and gentle nature touched the lives of many. She was not only a dedicated mother but also a respected public figure, serving as a federal senator and advocating tirelessly for human rights. Jean was particularly passionate about women's rights and supporting the LGBTQ+ community, leaving a lasting impact on society. In addition to her contributions to public life, Jean leaves behind a legacy of love and family. She was a cherished grandmother to eleven grandchildren and a great-grandmother to seventeen. All who had the privilege of knowing her will treasure her memory.
