Jean and Wilf were the proud owners of Hardman Photo and TV in Gore Bay for more than 25 years.  She was well known for her skill and care in developing photos for many residents and tourists to the Island.  In later years, she split her time between Manitoulin Island and the Bruce Peninsula.  Jean was active in her communities, through United Church groups, volunteer hospice work, playing cards and socializing with friends. She was an avid sewer and her children and grandkids appreciated receiving many of her creations throughout the years.  Jean will be remembered for her selflessness, generosity, faith, kindness and deep love for her family.
