Jean was known not only for her loving nature, sense of humor, and inquisitive mind but for her creativity. Her passion for crafting always made big family events a spectacle. Her skills trickled down to her kids who carried on the tradition of thinking outside the box. From balloon art used to decorate big dance halls, to creating the most unique costumes for her grandchildren. She loved watching her children and grandchildren play sports and dance;  anything they did, she was their biggest fan. She was known for her kind, gentle spirit, but was a fierce defender of her family.

Jean always put family first. She made sure you were fed while hosting family dinners and get togethers. You couldn’t leave her home without her making sure you were full of food and laughter. When all the dust would finally settle and she had a moment to herself, she would sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
