Jean Tinney Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Jean Tinney of South Hero, Vermont, born in Gardner, Massachusetts, who passed away at the age of 90, on October 2, 2021. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jean Tinney to show support.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Gardie LaBounty and Hazel LaBounty (Ellis); and her husband Howard Alden Tinney. She is survived by: her sons, Dr. Roderic Tinney (Patricia) and Donald Tinney of South Hero; her grandchildren, Dustin Simmons Tinney (Megan Marie) of Bend, Cayla Jean Zellers (Shawn Zellers) of Dexter and Morgan Lawrence Tinney (Janine O'Donnell) of Ada, Michigan; and her great grandchildren, Fen and Cole Zellers.
Rather than gather for services during the pandemic, the family suggests that friends honor Jean's life with intentional acts of kindness--give a child a new book, bake a batch of cookies for the neighbors, bring a cake to the staff lounge, or take a friend to lunch.
