Jean Delores (Johnston) Lawson
With family by her side, Jean passed away peacefully on Nov 26th, 2025 in her 93rd year. She lived a full life marked by love, laughter, and compassion. Mom’s gentle spirit and grace remained with her until the very end. She is now reunited with her beloved husband Gordon Lawson (1997).
Loving Mother to Karen and Greg Woods of Guelph & Kathy and Steve May of Waterloo.
Jean will sadly be missed by her grandchildren Lindsay and Matthew Femiak, Liam and Alexa Woods, Ryan May and Sarah May and treasured great-grandma to Holly and Annie Femiak. She is predeceased by her sister Lorraine Gordon (2021) and her fraternal twin brother James Johnston (2017).
Jean will be fondly remembered by extended family, nieces, nephews, friends and co-workers from WC Wood, where she worked for many years until her retirement.
Our Mother always had a smile and a kind word for everyone she met and a constant symbol of strength, support, and compassion for our family. She was often found at gatherings with a wee glass of white wine in hand, surrounded by those she loved. Mom’s greatest joy in her life was her family and being a Grandma. Rest in peace Mom. “Don’t cry for me, be happy”.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Wellington Terrace for the compassionate care and support provided during the final stages of her life. We are especially grateful to Dr. Stickney for his unwavering dedication and exceptional professionalism. We are also deeply grateful to the entire Walnut Grove Team for your kindness and caring approach, which meant so much throughout Mom’s three years at WTLTC. A sincere thank-you as well to Ashley, Amber, Karn, Nora and Robert for the comfort and care you provided during Mom’s final days.
In accordance with Jean’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held. Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com.
