I was so sorry to hear of the death of Jean. She was always at our NARFE meetings and willing to help if she could. Shirley Martin
I’m sorry for your loss. Cherish the many memories of times spent together and may you be comforted by the words in Acts 24:15.
Jean ‘s interests had no boundaries. She participated in so many activities both physical and cerebral. I was privileged to know her and will miss her greatly. Kitty deChiara
Jean, I’m so sad to see you go but know you are with our maker and Lord in his Heavenly home. We shared many good times ushering concerts and events together at the GMU Center for the Arts. I will always remember your warm, cheerful outlook, as an inspiration to always see the good in this world. May God continue to bless you in his heavenly garden! — Chuck Heberle
Jean, the lunch group will not be the same without you. Your sense of humor, your warmth and your wisdom will be sorely missed from our gatherings. I will miss your late Christmas cards which extended the cheer of the holiday beyond the date. It is ironic you left us on the date of the last luncheon, but you apparently called for an even more important meeting. There will be an empty space at our table and a hole in our hearts on your leaving us. God bless you and keep you and your family . Farewell my friend. Karen
Jean was a wonderful person to work with at the Shepherds Center. She was always positive and always had a smile. Everyone loved working with her. She had extensive volunteer jobs and gave her heart to helping our clients. I am sure the clients she serviced will miss her immensely! I will miss Jean so much! I will always remember our conversations and funny moments we shared together. She was so much fun! My condolences to the family who she admired and shared fun stories. In loving memory and never forgotten! Rema Smith Volunteer Community Manager, SCOV
