Aunt Jean became my Aunt when I married her nephew, Dean Webster in 1966. She treated me like a daughter; and my sons and their families loved her deeply. I know she is in heaven smiling her beautiful smile; and enjoying a happy reunion with her husband, Eddie and her parents and others. She will be missed by so many, here.
