we spent many fun filled days with
Jean and Jesse as National Life employees. Great
memories of better times with some of the finest
folks we ever knew. So very sorry for your loss.
Two days ago we were driving on Boydson and
mentioned that is where Jean and Jesse lived.
God Bless.

Your Condolence Message::So sorry!
I always considered you as cousins.
But the last time I saw Gary, he didn’t even remember the name. Right out of
high school (1959-60) I worked for the state highway dept. I remember
stopping in at a restaurant for lunch and Barb was working there. We chatted
and the guys on the crew thought she was very hot . . . and she was! They
bugged the driver to go back every day, but I think during the entire summer
we only returned once and I think Barb was off when we returned, much to the
disappointment of the crew. Carolyn, I can close my eyes and still see your
class picture with the pixie-type cut.
Retired from the Blade in 2001. God Bless you all!

Your Condolence Message::I have fond memories
of Aunt Jean and Uncle Jesseas well as the fun times with the whole family.
She was the last of Mom’s (Ruth’s) generation of
cousins who kept in touch
among themselves and did so much for us
and for their parents. As I sit here with the
grandchildren, listening to the chatter about
shared video games, the memories of play times
with the cousins and Aunt Jean’s comforting
kindnesses come flooding back. Love to her
and to all those now scattered cousins
wherever they might be

Condolence Message:
I have many fond memories of Jean from Shelby Pointe
(Heritage Care Center). We had good times together playing BINGO,
discussions, etc.
Jean loved to sing the old hymns and had her special seat for BINGO.
Jean enjoyed going to her daughter’s house and being with family.
Her love for birds was also seen with all the feeders the family provided
for her enjoyment.
She will be missed dearly. A very sweet and lovely lady.
