Jean R. Larson
There will be no service by request, only a close family gathering at a later date. We kindly ask that in lieu of flowers, etc. to please make a donation in Mom's name to the Whatcom Hospice House, 2806 Douglas Avenue, Bellingham, Washington, 98225.
A sweet, loving spirit, Jean shall be remembered fondly as she passed; peacefully surrounded by her family on the evening of June 1st.
She is missed greatly by daughters Susan Nichols (grandchildren: Jennifer Shadowens, Brandee Rollins - husband Kevin, Robbie Nichols - wife Jennifer, great-grandchildren: Ray Shadowens, DeLaney and Grayce Rollins, Rylan Nichols), Anna Mannering (husband Mark, grandchildren: Tammi Mannering, Todd Mannering - wife Amber: great grandchild Lincoln), Tina Baldwin (husband Leo, grandchildren: Luke Baldwin - wife Sara, great grandchild Scarlett, Wren Foster - Husband Taryn, great grandchild Taylynn), along with the many neighbours and friends she had over the years.
Mom loved her long walks along the fields with the dog(s) and numerous joint strolls on the sand bars and the tidal pools at Crystal Water Beach. Often these stretched beyond to Lily Point and back again, while rescuing stranded starfish, tossing them back into the sea. She enjoyed many a conversation with a cup of tea and biscuits with long time friends of the area, and especially pottering around her gardens, keeping them immaculate.
Her love of animals had been life long and Cocker Spaniels were continual companions.
Dad, who went ahead of her in 1998, now greets and joins her for further journeys.
We thank Lynden Manor's staff for their gentle caring of Mom as she wrestled with dementia and declining health in this stage of her life. We also would like to give a heartfelt 'thank you' to Whatcom Hospice House with all the staff and nurses for the tender and compassionate care in looking after Mom and all of us during this difficult emotional time.
Memories
From DeHaan family
We enjoyed seeing both your Mom and Dad walking the bluff, accompanied by a trusty cocker spaniel. It was just part of a daily routine! After your Dad passed, Jean carried on, quite often joined by one of you girls and a couple of frisky red dogs. The Larsons were a welcome addition to the community and we enjoyed them as good neighbors. Keep your happy memories close in this difficult time.
Pauli & Fred and family

I was lucky enough to meet Jean a couple of times over the years Tina has worked for us and she was a very sweet lady. Our condolences to all of you. She raised three beautiful loving daughters! Gail and John
