I remember Jean as a quiet, reserved and graceful young lady. We were classmates and she was one of the best students; one that some of us competed against for the best grades…she usually won! Although I know almost nothing about her life since those high school days, I know she must have touched many lives in her loving and unassuming manner. A true Southern lady!
I have wonderful memories of Aunt Jean. I remember she was a very sweet lady who loved her family and her pet dog. I know she served her community and her family well and will be missed terribly. May she rest in peace.
I didn’t know Jean but I knew her sister Sandy. Sandy was one of the kindest and best person I know. Sandy always talked about her sister Jean and of course Lynn. They were a close family. Sorry for the loss to Lynn and her family.
I am so sorry to hear that Jean past. This was a beautiful dvd. To see kean so young and happy with her family. I’ve known Jean for about 10 years. She was so kind and talked about her family often. So sorry to hear about her passing. We all loved her at liberty oaks
