Jean Gervais was surrounded by family when she passed away at the age of 80 on October 3, 2024. She lost the battle against kidney disease. She leaves behind Edgar (her husband of 56 years), Sheri and Christine (her daughters); Joe (her son-in-law); Stephen and Alex (her grandsons); Bob (her brother), and Craig (her nephew).

Jean especially loved her kids and grandkids. She enjoyed traveling all over the world with her family. Her beautiful scrapbooks she crafted were cherished and she would often take out to reminisce.

Family and friends have tasted many of her delicious homemade goodies like her ‘no name’ pies, Sunday scones, and peanut butter chocolate chip squares (just to name a few).

Back in the 80s, she singlehandedly worked as a crossing guard, covering the busy intersection of Palm Avenue and Johnson Street. She took that job very seriously, making sure nobody crossed without her protection. That’s when she earned the nickname ‘Rambo’, which her husband and daughters had affectionately called her.

Jean also enjoyed working in her garden over the years. She would fearlessly chase off the invading iguanas that munched on her prized flowering beauties.

Jean was a caring soul and mentor. In her early years, she taught Sunday school at a Baptist church. She volunteered at her children’s local elementary school and became a Girl Scout troop leader.

A Public Memorial Gathering will take place on October 7th, 2024 at Boyd-Panciera Family Funeral Care, located at 1600 N. University Drive, Pembroke Pines Florida, 33024.
