I will always remember Jean, who I met through the Reading Society of Craftsmen and I will treasure those memories, not only of her amazing talent, but more of her kindness, patience as a teacher, and her generosity as a friend.

I can't forget the two different face expressions from one person. This was on the day of her going to the hospital. That morning she is restless!!! Because she was a home maker. In that she loved her home and all of us around her. As she is being taken to the Ambulance would very quick to say-bye and l will be back by midday (reassurance). And as soon as she enters her home - sighs and says "It's nice to be home". We terribly missed her when she went the nursing. We miss you but take comfort knowing that you are in a better place - away from world's problems. RIP sweet, wonderful, kind lady.

Jean was a GREAT Mother-In-Law & the BEST Grammie a kid could ask for. She was kind, thoughtful & loving. Not just in words but also her actions. She is literally the sweetest lady I've ever met. I've known her for over 35 yrs...I've NEVER heard her raise her voice nor talk ill of someone. She ALWAYS had a smile. We will miss her FOREVER. Deb Jones
