A graduate of White County High School, Jean nurtured a strong foundation for her future as a mother and wife. Her unwavering faith defined her character; she was a devoted and strong Christian woman, exemplifying the ideals she taught to her loved ones.

Jean's passion for family shone brightly through her cherished memories.
