Remembering Jean Elizabeth DelBrocco (nee McIntee)

On February 6, 2018, Jean Elizabeth DelBrocco passed away at Georgian Bay General Hospital surrounded by her loving family, at the age of 89 years.  She was pre-deceased by her husband and the love of her life, Anthony Donald DelBrocco in 1955.   Jean is survived by her children and their spouses:    Sharon Laurie (Don),  Donna Richardson (Bill),    Rosemarie East (Red), and Donald DelBrocco (Patricia), 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren.   Her family gave her a never-ending source of joy and pride.    Jean was greatly loved and was always such an inspiration to her entire network of family and friends, including many nieces and nephews.    She had such a great love and zest for life enjoying family gatherings, bingo, going to church, and dancing to name a few of her many interests.    She was a former employee of Pillsbury, Midland, and after retiring was a very active volunteer with the Friends of Penetang Youth,  the Port McNicoll Legion Auxillary,  and Port McNicoll Bingo where she always handed out Christmas stockings filled with goodies to all the children.    A funeral mass will be celebrated on June 16th, 2018 at St. Margaret’s Church at 10:00 a.m.,  followed by a Celebration of Life at the home of her son Donald DelBrocco.  Cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held on June 18th, 2018 at Mount Hope Cemetery, Toronto where she will at long last  join her husband, Anthony,  in the DelBrocco family plot.   There could never be a more beautiful angel than Jean with her pure, beautiful and kind spirit to watch over us.  We will keep Mama Mia forever in our hearts and she will continue to dazzle us from beyond.  Her quick wit and humour will always be with us, and we will strive to  follow her advice of “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!”     In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Georgian Bay General Hospital.
