Annie Jean Hurst

Words cannot express the happiness that was given me by just knowing my friend Jean over the years since before 1986. My dearest friend, known to me as Jean will be sadly missed and loved in the spirit by me. Rest in Peace surrounded by lovely scented flowers, heaps of animals, horses especially and birds in a farm environment along with God’s love and Jesus protection. Flying doves in the air.

Dear Jean, loved friend of Pam and Adrian Blackburn. Loved by Sheridan – may you Rest In Peace.

Auntie Jean holds a very special place in the hearts of our family.
She often referred to my late husband Mick as her favourite nephew (she didn’t need to tell him he always knew it to be true)..
“Mikey” (as only Auntie Jean called him) and I had many visits to Sebastopol for a cup of tea, Chocolate Royals and the most wonderful chats. Many wonderful memories of a beautiful lady.
Even when she was not well, she would still put on her makeup and dress up to entertain us.
I will remember her as a stylish woman with a wonderful heart and a passion for “Mikey”.

A little history:-
Annie “Jean” Farrell was the middle child of Eddie Farrell and Annie Jean Dinneen.
Her siblings Edward Keith, Frederick Desmond, Maurice and Patricia Maureen all predeceased her, she was the last surviving member of this family.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of Auntie Jean’s family, sending you lots of love
Heather Farrell

Kira, Marli, Kai and I will dearly miss Grandma. We’re sad we’re unable to attend today but we feel she’s not too far from us.
I will miss out chats as I drove through central Queensland between work sites, often chatting about her great grand children, loving hearing about Marlis art and Kais surfing and usuall getting told off a little for letting them out in the big waves.
Always bringing a giggle and smile to my face afterwards, reflecting on something politically incorrect Grandma had just said!
I’ll miss our very rare catch ups and your full body, prolonged hugs followed my kisses all over my cheek, leaving your bright lipstick mark. Then doing the same to the kids!!
Every year the birthday cards with $5 or $10 would come with a thoughtful hand written note. It was always appreciated and I will miss them every birthday from now on.
I’m glad your at peace and free from you pain, I feel you’ll always be with us.
Love you always xox

To Susan,Wayne,Daryl,Gavin and families our deepest condolences to you all, may Auntie Jean Rest In Peace
Love from Christine, julie , Phyllis and families
