To Jean’s family: We are so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. She was a very special lady, and though having not seen her as much since her and us both moving on to different places of worship, we will always remember our years of friendship while at Belmont. Our prayers are being lifted up for Janice, Roger and her entire family at this sad, difficult time, but we know Jean is no longer in pain and is now celebrating with her Savior.

Please accept my deepest regrets for your loss. Marlene and Harry sends there love and support and prayers also. She was such an awesome person. A true prayer warrior And example of a great Godly woman. Bless you all with strength to over come sadness to know she is singing and dancing with our God.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Roger, Janice, Karen, Ronnie and families during this time. I have many memories of Aunt Jean when you all would come to Mn to visit. I remember when you all would come and it would be in the 70s and low 80s and Jean was still freezing. I couldn’t understand that:). Also Janice and Karen would always have the whitest tennis shoes. I think Jean would wash them every other day. To this day I LOVE white tennis shoes. The most important memory of Jean is her love for the Lord. What a blessing to know that she has no more pain and is with her Lord and Savior! Blessings and hugs to you all!
Randy, Marilee and family

I am so sorry to hear this. I just learned about Jean’s passing now, and the funeral was earlier today. My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Jean her entire career in Mary Kay, and am now taking care of her unit members who will sorely miss her. I remember how often she would forego a business event to care for family members who needed her. God bless her.
