Her mother died shortly afterwards, so Jean was raised by her Grandparents, Tom & Elizabeth Suddaby. Her father eventually remarried and Jean ended up with 9 younger (half) siblings. Jean married Myles Barber of Gordon Lake on December 25, 1933 and settled into a house at Portlock where she bore three children before her husband went out west and eventually died in 1946. Dear mother of Glenn Barber (Gail), Norma Smith (late Harold) and the late Grant Barber (Reta). Grandmother of 12, great-grandmother of 24 and great-great-grandmother of 26.
