It is with deep sadness, with her loving family by her side, we announce the passing of Jean Hounsell at the Labrador Health Center in Labrador City. Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories are her daughters, Jolynn(Bill) Randell, Karen(Dereck) Lewis, Paula Hounsell, Michelle(Toby) Myles; ten grandchildren, Dereck, Megan(Wendy), Zachary, Owen, Mikaela, Noah, Devin, Jadyn, Rachel and Austin; two great-granddaughters, Peyton and Paisley; brothers Roy(Maisie) Butler, and Cyril(Audrey) Butler; sister Claudine Ricketts; a special niece Francine Ricketts; very special friend Jo Anne Lush; as well as a very large circle of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Jean was predeceased by the love of her life, Clyde; her parents Edmund and Elizabeth Butler; sisters Naomi Tripp and Peggy Duffett; and a large number of brothers and sisters-in-law. Being a pioneer of Labrador City for 60 years, anyone who knew Jean, knew her for her infectious smile and witty personality, but most of all for her love for her family, especially her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
