She was the eldest of four children and grew up on a dairy farm in Victoria. When both her parents had died by the time she was 16, Jean stayed to care for her younger siblings as they joined her uncle and aunt’s family who already had 10 children of their own. Jean remembers the siblings and cousins all having to ‘top and tail’ as there weren’t enough beds. One of Jean’s vivid childhood memories was in the early 1930s hearing a Douglas DC plane flying overhead and racing outside while screaming with excitement to catch a glimpse of it. Unfortunately, Jean ran straight into a barbed wire fence and split her lip open. Her father being a WWI veteran, stitched up her lip on the kitchen table using a hair from his horse! Living through the Great Depression and World War Two, Jean was familiar with hard work. She married young and in the mid-1940s she was nursing while also bringing up two young children. When she remarried in her 30s, she and her husband, Dan enjoyed ballroom dancing together right up until they were in their seventies and later took up golf, which she continued into her eighties. When asked what still brings her joy and energises her, Jean didn’t hesitate to reply, “Walking and exercise!” Jean still participates in exercise classes at 60s n Better twice a week, loves her social outing with Happy Group on Tuesdays, Indoor Carpet Bowls on Saturdays and church on Sundays. Jean also added, “I avoid too much tea and cream cakes.” Jean has lived on the Gold Coast for the past 10 years after moving up from Melbourne. She still lives independently and can often be found out in her garden or chatting to her visiting native birds. Jean is a well-loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother and recently had the joy of celebrating her 100th birthday over several events gathering together family and friends from near and far. Celebrating 100 years!
