Jean was such a part of my life for almost 30 years. She welcomed me and my Brownies when we met in the church may years ago. She was the first one to welcome us on GS Sunday each year. I will always remember singing with her after I joined the church and the choir, her doing "shivers" in my grandchildren's backs when the visited, and always being such a support in all of my life. You will be surely missed by many more than you even know, Jean.
My dear Aunt Jean. Please

I've known Jean my entire life and while we were not related, I considered her part of my family. Jean and Peachy were wonderful, kind, caring people and it was always a fun time to be with them. I will always remember our visits with fondness. My deepest and most sincere condolences to Jean's family.
