HERRING
It is with deep sadness that the family of Jean Edna Herring (Barton) announce her passing on the 23rd of July 2025 at the age of 88.
Jean was born on the 8th of Nov 1936 in Ormiston, Sk. She was predeceased by her father, Robert (Bert”) Barton; sister, Mae (Ralph) Sinclair, and mother Dorothy (Chester) Rice.
Jean was beloved by many, having an infectious grin and a sweet nature, she welcomed many friends into her inner circle. She had a love of song and dance. Her beautiful voice was shared with family and friends, singing alongside her beloved Uncle Harral. She had incredible talent for sewing, spent time as a seamstress, upholstering furniture, and found a love of quilting in her later years. Many of her creations were shared with those she loved.
The family cannot express how grateful we are to all the people who were there for Mom in her last years. A special thank you to Michael Ferguson and Ingrid DeWalt who went above and beyond.
Jean is survived by her husband, James; their children: Steve (Phyllis) Herring, Michael Herring, Diane (Timothy) Gass, Cindy (Vernon) Stevens; grandchildren: Kenneth (Amy) Herring, Kara Bastarache, Lindsey Stevens, Kyle Stevens, great grandchild May Bastarache and brother, Wayne (Sharon) Barton, as well as other family, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends who she loved dearly.
