Jean was one who could always make you laugh and enjoy the small things in life. She was a kind. loving person and one that I was glad to call her a classmate. Our class reunions and ladies lunches where always special when Jean was there. Her presence will greatly be missed in the future, but not forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember her and her life.

I will miss her until I can see her again. I can say many wonderful things about Jean, however, I think everyone knows how unique she was. I know Jean as my Gideon from the Bible. It truly describe my special relationship with her. To the family…you have my deepest sympathy. She loved all of you.

I’ve known Jean since I was in my late teens. She was married and had two young sons at the time. Over the years I came to know her, and we discovered we had many things in common, besides our love for the truth. We often went to plant sales, garden tours and old historical homes together. I will miss our early morning phone chats (already do) and working together at the grounds of the Kingdom Hall. Jean often commented on how beautiful the earth was, and how she looked forward to helping in restoring it to the paradise it was always intended to be. I miss her very much, but am comforted by the fact that she is no longer suffering, and one day we’ll be working together again on this beautiful planet!
