Jean excelled in sewing, working in local factories.

Jean attended Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. She loved the fellowship and Pastor Andy.

"Mom" to many, she loved to crochet, knit, play bingo, scratch lottery, word search and being with her family. She loved her best friend Irene, and spending holidays at Kendra's house. Walking into restaurants and eating surrounded by her grandson and his friends, brought her great joy.

Thank you Cedar Haven for taking such care of our mother.

The family would like to thank all for the beautiful sympathy cards. Mom loved receiving cards, we treasure them as she would.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in her memory to Disabled Veterans, or a charity of your choice.
