Jean had a strong passion and love for helping people as she dedicated her career to working in the service and hospitality industry for many decades.

Jean lived a vibrant easy going life with her family and truly loved her family dearly as she treasured being the matriarch. Family came first in her life but God was always the head of her life. Jean having a heart for people could always be seen and heard instilling words of affirmation and encouragement to her family, friends and even people she often first met. Jean’s most encouraging quotes were, “lean and depend on God” and “God knows best.”

Jean having a heart of gold was always happy, cheerful and was a strong faithful warrior. During her illness, she never complained; she remained positive and optimistic staying steadfast in the Lord…..what a remarkable woman! Jean was always eager and willing to help anyone in need….this was our precious rare gem. Her joyful laughter and great sense of humor will be truly missed, but her sweet sweet spirit and wonderful presence will forever remain in our hearts.
