The Washington Post described Jean as “A wonman who brought faith, warmth, and a helping hand to all who knew her.” As a neighbor and long-time friend, I found her also to be young at heart, creative, spontaneous and wonderful company. She will be greatly missed.
The epitome of goodness. Always ready with a kind word.
Jean was a wonderful neighbor! She always had a smile and a kind word. We bought a queen size bed from her and Hal when they moved, so now we have something by which to always remember her. God bless her soul.
Although I did not have the honer of knowing Jean, I will remember her through her daughter Amy. I know of how much Amy cared for and loved her mother throughout the years. May God bless the Langford family and may you find peace during this difficult time. With Sympathy,
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Sincerely, Jeanne Feldhaus
