She served with Eldorado in California, Harmony in Oklahoma City and New Port Richey, FL where she met so many long-term friends with her Sisters and Brothers of the Order of the Eastern Stars.

 Jean enjoyed watching movies where she would cry because she loved happy endings. She would work on crafts to give gifts for all she loved and enjoyed spending time with.

Jean made an impact on so many people’s lives that her presence will be missed but her love and compassion will still be felt by those who she touched for generations to come.
