Although Jean had no children of her own, she remained closely connected to her nieces and nephews in Newfoundland and tried to visit her family almost every year. As she began thinking of retirement, her heart became set on moving back to Newfoundland to be near her family. In June 2011, Jean and Renato relocated to St. Anthony. After a few years in St. Anthony Jean recommitted her life to the Lord at Bethel Pentecostal Church. Renato followed her to the altar that same morning and gave his heart to the Lord.
