What a very special lady! Jean was the last person to be with my father when he was in the last hours of life. She was singing hymns to him. My father was a first cousin to her. Eugene McMichael. Jean and I collaborated on our McMichael family genealogy. We would both get so excited over any new breakthroughs. She also shared some copies of family photos with me that I treasure. I hope she completed her autobiography that she was working on. Even though I saw her infrequently and spoke on the phone occasionally, I will miss her very much. My condolences to Brent, Jeffrey, Kirke, and Amybeth.

I knew dear Jean from Leola Fulton Bank. We had the Laundromat and Serv-U Shop at 2111 New Holland Pk. and we shared pictures and anecdotes of our grandchildren over the years. My son Dan Flory was in high school classes with Kirke, and Dan’s and Kirke’s children were little at the same time. Cecilia and Natalie are about the same age, and Everett is a little older than Ethan. Many lovely memories shared with a fellow grandmother! Memories of a wonderful caring lady who always had a ready smile.
With warmest regards, Esther Flory.

I had the pleasure of working with Jean at the Leola branch of Fulton Bank for many years. She was a class act, living life to the fullest with dignity, grace, strength & humor. She had a wonderful way of connecting w/ people. I remember many customers who would wait in line, specifically for her. She was a crowd favorite.🤗 What a beautiful legacy she leaves behind. Farewell, dear Jean. May you rest in peace.. 🙏
