South Windsor Obituary: Jean Jamieson, 83

Jean (Rose) Jamieson, 83, of Bolton, formerly of South Windsor, died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, June 25, 2017, at The Village at Buckland Court.

Beloved wife of Robert Jamieson, she was born July 10, 1933, daughter of the late William and Emma (Skarin) Rose. Jean was the second of four children, Glen, Jean, June (passed) and Jack Rose. Glen lost his life in the Korean War. The family put the other three children through four years of college with the money the government gave to Gold Star Mothers.

Jean graduated from ECSU in 1953 and became a teacher at Mayberry School in East Hartford. She earned her master’s degree in 1985 and taught for 36 years.

Jean leaves behind two children, Glenn and Karen (Roberts), and 4 grandchildren. Glenn has two boys, Conrad and Evan, born in Pensacola, Florida, now living in Ohio. Glenn lives with his wife Denise in North Carolina. Karen moved to San Diego and is married to Richard Floyd, they have a son Ryan. June married Samuel Brady and they had three girls, Kathy, Julie (passed) and Mary. Kathy has one daughter, Julie. Mary married Scott Burkell and they have 2 daughters, Katie and Ashley. Jack married Cretie and had 3 children, James, Lynn, and Ruth. Lynn Greer and Ruth Lariviere are all living in South Windsor, with families of their own.

Bob entered her life in 1974 and after 2 years of courtship, they married and fulfilled their dreams by purchasing a home in Bolton. Jean’s parents lived with them until right before their passing. Bob and Jean went on many trips after they retired, and filled their lives with golfing, bowling, traveling to see the kids, and going to shows. They visited 39 of the 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. They had a ball.

Jean taught Sunday School for Art Dunham at The First Congregational on Main Street, and was instrumental in The Raymond E. Larson Foundation. She was very active in ADK for many years. Bob says being ill with memory problems for 5 years cannot change what we had. She will be remembered for what she did, and who she was for people. For me, Jean will always be “The Lady with the Sunshine Smile.”

The family wishes to thank the wonderful people who cared so lovingly for her at The Village. We are so grateful.

The wake will be held Saturday, August 12th from 10 - 11:30 a.m., at the Samsel & Carmon Funeral Home, 419 Buckland Road, South Windsor; with a Memorial Service to begin at 11:30 a.m.
