Jean Margaret Ackland

The family of Jean Ackland are sad to announce her passing on the afternoon of July 26, 2021.
Jean was born and raised in Bradford, England. In her early 20's, she travelled to Canada with her best friend, Glennys. Jean met her husband and lifelong love, Robert Ackland, in Vancouver, BC. They had 50 amazing years together. They settled in Victoria, BC and raised their daughters in paradise.
Jean had a 25year career working with VIHA as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. She was well respected and enjoyed her work and coworkers. Jean retired in 1997 and filled her days with gardening, singing, walking and of course her family and dear friends. Jean would never miss an opportunity to try new things, attend ball games, voice recitals, band concerts, walks and talks with her girls, outings with good friends and amazing family reunions. Jean was so supportive and loving to all her family and friends.
Jean is predeceased by her husband Bob and siblings Deryk and Barbara. She will be forever remembered and grieved by her family: daughters; Sarah(Myles), and Allison(Ken),and grandsons; Benjamin, Grayson, Harrison and Owen.
