Jean was a housewife before working as a hairdresser for many years and then worked retail in a hardware store until her retirement. Being active in the P.T.A. from Elementary to High School was a priority for Jean while her boys were in school. After retirement she worked for the “Beautify the Lake” committee of the Cedar Creek Lake community. Crafting was a hobby that Jean pursued throughout her life to include painting and firing of ceramics. As an avid gardener, Jean always kept a beautiful and colorful landscape wherever she lived. Having played high school basketball for the Turkey Turks, Jean was an enthusiastic fan of professional basketball, never missing a televised Maverick game. Jean was a faithful and prayerful Christian as a member of the Baptist Church and served as a Sunday School teacher and Vacation Bible School Coordinator among many other duties over the years.
