Jean Frances (VanWart) Kyle

After a period of failing health, Jean Kyle passed away peacefully, on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, at the Saint John Regional Hospital with family by her side.  Born in Saint John, NB., April 2, 1935, she is the daughter of the late Burton and Mabel (Webster) VanWart and beloved wife of nearly 25 years to the late Ronald Kyle.

Jean was employed by Zellers in the Parkway Mall for 21 years, retiring in the late 90’s.  She liked to do crossword puzzles and absolutely loved to watch her soap operas from the comfort of her favorite easy chair. One of Jean’s hobbies included the crocheting of numerous sets of mitts and hats over the years for premature babies.  Jean was such a kind, generous, soft hearted lady.  She loved her children so very dearly and was always extremely supportive of them.  She will be forever loved and so dearly missed.

Jean is survived by her only daughter Wendy Kyle (Mel); sons Stephen Kyle, Frank Kyle (Shirley), Danny Kyle (Brenda), and Terry Kyle (Carrie) sister Greta Cobham; eight grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and several extended family members. 

In addition to her husband and parents, Jean was predeceased by her infant daughter Nancy; brothers Burton and Harold VanWart; sisters Georgie, Marion, Kathleen, Dorothy and Ruth.
