On Tuesday, July 27, 2021, Jean Seeney, wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and sister, passed away peacefully at the age of 80 years.
Predeceased by her loving husband, Lloyd Elsworth Seeney (1936-1994). Daughter to Rita Roberts and Roy Edwards. Sister to Gerald Vanstone (1930-2021). Granddaughter to Isaac Victor Vanstone and Josephine Angela Vanstone.
Jean leaves behind her adoring sons: Todd (Joselyn), Terry (Yvonne) and Tim (Sarah). She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren who were her inspiration: Sarah Jessica, Griffin Lloyd, Rhiannon Aurora, Erin Olwen, Evan Todd and Olivia Grace.
Family was everything to Jean, and as much as she loved being “Mom”, it was her role as “Grammy” that had special meaning for her, one that she deeply cherished.
A great lover of sports, Jean was a member of the Banook Canoe Club (Dartmouth) for many years and excelled on the softball diamond. She closely followed Ottawa sports teams, and could often be heard yelling encouragement and “advice” at the television during Ottawa Senators games. She was an enthusiastic member of the Capital Chordettes, and volunteered many hours with the Blackburn Hamlet Community Fun Fair, Girl Guides, and the Blackburn Bengals cheerleading squad. Her other interests included crosswords, bingo, and Jeopardy.
The family would like to give special thanks to the staff at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital for their care and compassion.
A graveside service will take place at Beechwood Cemetery (280 Beechwood Ave.) will take place on Saturday, August 14th, 2021 at 3pm.
Donations may be made to the Ottawa Heart Institute.

I am extremely saddened by this. Jean was by far my favorite aunt. I had so much fun visiting you guys every summer when I was young. I remember she use to make Tim take me everywhere with him. She was truly a second mom to me and I will miss her with all my heart. She is with Lloyd, my mom and dad and her mother now. I feel they will watch over all of us. I love all of you and your families and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim, Todd, Terry and the rest of the Seeney family:
Passing along my condolences about your Mom passing. We’ll remember Jean in her prime, when she was never shy to give you guys hell (nor your friends Scott or I for that matter!!!), but was always looking out for the family, especially the grandkids.
Thinking about you and your family as you get through this difficult time.

Tim, Todd & Terry,
Sincere condolences from Michelle, Cameron and I. We were really sorry to hear of your mom's passing recently.
I'll always remember your mom as a strong determined woman that faced a lot of adversity with her health issues over many years and the loss of your dad so young, and gave so much to the Blackburn community. I still miss her welcome at the library, even though it been many years since her days volunteering there.
In our younger days, she always welcomed us to your home as if we were part of the family, as if we belonged there, and had correspondingly high expectations of us. And she was never shy to tell us how proud she was of us all and to show how much she cared. She will be dearly missed and remembered fondly as one of a kind.
You and your families are in our thoughts. Looking forward to being able to get together and remember her in person.
