MacLACHLAN,
Jean
Annabelle
At Saint Michael's Hospital on Monday July 10, 2006. We celebrate
the life and mourn the loss of Jean Annabelle
MacLACHLAN, devoted
sister to Joan
GREEN and Joy
ANDERSON and brothers-in-law Stuart
GREEN and Cecil
ANDERSON.
Loving aunt to Lyndsay
GREEN (Hank
INTVEN), Bruce
GREEN (Cheryl), Jeff
GREEN and Donald
ANDERSON
(Lisa BRUCE.)
Much loved great-aunt to Lauren and Andrea
INTVEN,
Brandon, Christopher and Taylor
GREEN,
Max and Alexa
GREEN, and
Tegan and Elizabeth
BRUCE.
Jean will also be deeply missed by
cousins Helen and Ralph
MULLIGAN, their children Judith and Brian
and families, as well as her many Friends. Jean's life of 89 years
was one of great accomplishment and richness. When she retired
after a 44-year career with Reckitt and Colman she had been the
first woman Manager of Consumer Services and held the longest
tenure of any woman in the company. She appeared on radio and
television and gave demonstrations across the country to entice
people to liven up their cooking with spices and seasonings.
She felt that her encouragement made people more adventurous
and contributed to the improvement of Canadian cuisine. She was
also known as 'Mavis Trill' in an advice column she wrote for
bird lovers. When she retired, the company newsletter described
her as a 'Ray of Sunshine'. It said, 'What's important is the
professional career and the accomplishments that this sweetheart
of a lady was able to build in an era when Gloria Steinem was
still making mud pies in her sandbox and the women's movement
ended at the Parent-Teacher Association refreshment table.' As
it said, 'Jean was a charmer.' She was known for her outrageous
hats, her award-winning jams and chutneys, and her love of people.
She had many happy times as a member of the Women's Advertising
Club of Toronto, of which she was the President from 1962-63.
She was proud of her service in the Canadian Women's Army Corp
Reserve in World War 2. Her last years were happy ones thanks
to the kindness and devotion shown her by the staff at Meighen
Manor. At her request no funeral service will be held. Donations
in Jean's memory may be made to the Salvation Army.
