What a shocking loss! I only met Jean a few times but was duly impressed by her compassion and kindness. She is missed by many but has left her mark on the love her family radiates to all. God speed

Rachel, I am so sorry for your family's loss. I will always remember Jean for her kindness and warm heart.

We were so sorry to hear the very sudden and sad news of our cousin Jean's passing. We were so thankful to have met her, some years ago at our Aunt's home in Lancashire when Jean and Ken were visiting the U.K. We send our love and prayer for Ken and their daughters, Rachel, Jo, Ashleigh and Melissa, and to the grandchildren, and all the Carey family.🌹🌹🌹.
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted... Psalm 34 verse 18.

Thinking of you especially today Ashley and your beautiful family.

Oh Jean, taken way too soon! What memories I & my siblings have of a wonderful childhood. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there today but I streamed the beautiful service & felt as though I was there. Sincere condolences to all family and friends.

To all the Hill and Carey Families
I send my deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of Jean. You all did such an amazing job today on one of the toughest days of your lives. Thinking of you all and sending love and strength. Take care of each other

Deepest sympathies to Jean’s family and many friends. Jean was a funny warm, compassionate and loving lady for whom her family, children and grandchildren were her world and to whom she was devoted. So sad to hear she is gone.
Rest easy Jean after a life well lived

Sincere condolences. Just wanted Jean’s family to know I am with you in your loss. Ar deas Lamh De go raibh a anam unsal.

My dearest Aunty Jean and Godmother. You are at the centre of my earliest memories. You gifted me a love and an appreciation for family. You always, always celebrated my little milestones and achievements. Even more importantly, you reminded me to be kind to myself when the tide was against me. You emboldened me to test boundaries, to verge on the outrageous, to express myself. With you, I never felt self-conscious. Your love is an attentive, reassuring and gentle love. I carry your love with me, Aunty Jean. Always.

Sending you all love at this very sad and painful time. I was very much a part of Jeans earlier life at school and throughout nursing. In losing her so suddenly and unexpectedly I have come to realise the depth of my love for her and hers for me, and all those she has touched. She had such a mischievous joy for life . With gratitude Jean. May you rest peacefully

Condolences to Ken, Rachel, Jo, Ash, Melissa and all the family. It is never easy to lose someone or find the right words to ease the pain. Jean you were and always will be so special. We are grateful for your friendship, guidance and always being there in times of need. We will cherish the memories of you and the laughs we shared, especially stealing your Cherry Ripes at the footy, and making you look for it. Rest now and one day we will reunite. All our love xo

To Ash, Jo, Melissa, Rach , Ken and your families.

Your kind, caring and compassion for patients taught me more than any book ever could.
We all have wonderful memories of you and on sad days, they will bring a smile

Gone too soon ❤️

Dearest Jean.....from kinder, to primary school, to secondary school, you were always there and I thought you would still be there, but it seems Heaven had other plans. Whether the gap in catch ups was a month or 5 years, you were always welcoming - your kindness and generosity always extended. To Ken and family, I cannot even begin to imagine your loss - we are there for you.......The Girls of SHC 1976!

What a wonderful person Jean was, so loving and generous of spirit. Such a great loss. Our hearts break for the Hill and Carey families.

Jean, my heart is broken & I am devastated. I thought we would grow old as the bestest of friends. Our friendship from teenagers working casual at Coles to having our kids close together. Going away on girls' weekends or watching our beloved Geelong Football Club. The world has lost a beautiful loving & caring lady who I proudly called my bestest friend who I will miss very much. RIP my bestest friend love Maryanne.
Condolences to Ken Rachel Jo Ashleigh Melissa & families.

Jean, you were more like a mother to me than a big sister. You cared for me, you made me feel safe and you loved me unconditionally. You made me feel like I was the only person in the world that mattered. My one regret is I never told you often enough how much I loved you and that you meant the world to me. So my beautiful, kind, caring, lovely, quirky sister, thank you. Thank you for being you. I love you now and forever. R.I.P.

Lovely that we had the opportunity to see you in May, Jean and what a lovely time we had. The memory of that will last for many years to come. Rest in Peace Jean. All our condolences to Ken and the family 💐🌹xx

So very sad to hear the news of your passing! Reading all the tributes to you, highlights what a lovely person you were and how missed you will be by all your friends and family.

Janice, Ken, Rachel, Joanne, Ashley and Melissa, your families and all Jean’s loved grandchildren.. the world for all of us is less than it was with Jean in our lives.
I share with you all the immensely sad feeling Jean is no longer with us.
A beautiful, kind and purely loving soul.
I loved Jean and miss her so much.

Jeanie we watched you grow from a 'check-out chic' to a caring registered nurse. From a newly married bride to a loving Mum, to a doting Grand-Mum. We will miss your friendship, wit and smiling face - your all too early departure from 377 leaves a deep gap in our group. Sincere condolences to Ken and family.
