Jean loved helping others; volunteered at church, the hospital and at nursing homes. She was blessed working with Hospice, where she was with over 200 end of life patients. She said she learned that the secret of being happy was doing things for other people. She said when she helped other people, she was the one receiving the blessing.

Jean said that her family was her greatest joy in life. She loved Jesus, spreading Gods work, helping others and was a true "Prayer Warrior".

She will take her place among the angels in heaven with her husband Don, mother, and father.

Mother dearest, go rest in peace in heaven, where the roses never fade and there is no more pain and suffering, only happiness and joy. We love you and miss you mom.
