Jean served as a Rosie the Riveter during WW II and worked as a seamstress and owned and operated her own hair salon. She loved to sing with her church choir and was a Sunday school teacher at the Thornhurst Methodist Church. She was a past Royal Ranger Commander for church youth at the Peckville Assembly of God and a member of the United Methodist Women. Jean loved watching the Fox news channel, gardening and grew the most beautiful dahlias. She was an avid hunter, fisherwoman, baker and was the scrabble queen. She did not leave without touching the lives of so many with her wisdom, wit, generosity, and her cantankerous ways. Jean opened her heart and home to those who struggled with addiction, in the hope that they would find peace and health. Her spirit will forever be with us. Jean's family cannot thank enough the Mountain View Care Center's entire nursing staff, for giving such excellent care and tending to Jean's needs. She will be deeply and painfully missed, but her spirit will always live on.
