Jean will always be remembered for her quiet ladylike personality. She sewed wonderful items that made the rest of us envious of her talent. She and Dean were long time members of our Seekers Sunday School Class. Jean was always willing to give her time in church. She baked & cooked wonderful meals for our Pot Lucks and always participated in our Helping Hands program. May God bless and keep her family healthy and safe. She is missed.
We were so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. We enjoyed our times together in church and Sunday lunches. Jean was a sweet and caring person and will be dearly missed.
Our condolences, sympathy and prayers to Dean and family.
I so sorry to hear of the passing of Jean for her family. She is now with her Lord and Savior, but will be missed by those left behind. She was a true Lady. I so enjoyed our times at the Bible study in Texas City and attending LCUMC with her and Dean. My prayers are with the friends and family, may God give you comfort and peace.
Jean was a sweet person. So kind. I loved talking with her. May comfort come to those who knew and loved her. Thanks
Jean was a quiet spoken woman who went about doing loving things for others, including making meals for families when they were I’ll.
I’m so sorry that I didn’t get the news of Jean’s passing until now. She and Dean were so nice to me and always made time to visit with me when I traveled to Houston for business. My deepest condolences to the family.
