Aunt Jean was was always a quietly beautiful and strong soul who loved her family dearly! I have many great memories of spending nights with her when I was young and always loved it because she always made me feel at home – and loved to tell stories about her and my uncles growing up! Rest In Peace❤️
Aunt Jean lived and loved well. My memories of her are filled with her smile and sweet laughter. She was a genuinely good person who loved God, her family, and friends! Rest in peace, Aunt Jean.
She was a special lady! Going to miss her sweet smile and laughter! Loved her so much! God bless you!

Charlie and Julie we are so sorry to hear of Jeans passing.
She was such a sweet dear lady and so very kind to us and everyone she came in contact with.
You will be in our prayers.
Thank you Robert and Fran, she was one of a kind, we know that she having good time with Charles probably giving him a knuckle sandwich if you ever saw her do this it was in good fun.
Love,
Julie and Charlie
She was a big Braves fan Charlie would call her and let know when they were playing, One of the things we didn’t hear today at the service I know the Mann family can comment on this, is the traveling wig some how one of siblings would get it didn’t know how it got there or who sent it? That was so funny.
Jean was always visiting people at Hostipal or nursing home.
And the other thing she would like to say is she was a MethoBapTherin, ok can you figure it out? When she was growing up in Haywood Co. There was 3 churches the Methodist, Baptist & Presbyterian and they shared the one building ( Bethel Baptist) she always got a kick of saying that. And we would like to thank Robert, Randy for their friendship and help over the last four years with our Jeno.
We love you Jeno

Yes! The wig was a well traveled “hairloom” and brought much laughter to the family. My friends look at me like I’m crazy when relating some of its travels and escapades. It had a strange way of uniting our family. Thank you for bringing it up. Great memories!
