Jean loved to live life with integrity and appreciated the little things in life. She loved to make people smile and always helped those in need. Jean took pride in being a member of the Eastern Star and enjoyed many years of being the Lucan Dog Tag Lady. She was a staple on Water Street and loved to garden. When she was not walking her dog, Bella, you could always find her out shopping or gallivanting with friends. Jean was strong in faith and the Lord has called her home.

Sorry for your loss of your mom Jenny. When I called Aunt Jean’s number and got a recording (2). I then googled her name I was grief stricken to actually see her name come up… as I was afraid this would happen . We would talk to each other as much as we could about the dogs ,the house ,the family tree and about you,Shawn , and your girls . I was hoping to go meet her in person but I wasn’t able . I am sorry we didn’t get that chance.
You and your family are in my prayers.
R.I.P. AUNT JEAN
You will be sadly missed
Love Roberta
