My heart is broken for all of you. Jean was the sweetest lady and made me laugh every morning. I started the same year she did and I always loved seeing that sweet smile. I know that heaven is rejoicing but I also know that we are mourning her loss. Please know that I am praying for all of your family. I miss you already Jean!

Vickie, I am so sorry for your loss. Jean and I, along with Ellen Maxcy Gallman, had loads of fun in high school. She was a dear friend and I think of her often. May God bless you and her children during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mama Jean was a very special woman. She always had a smile to light up the room. When I saw her, I saw love. True love that shown from every beam of her life. She loved her family and they all knew she was only a phone call away. She went above and beyond. We sure will miss her. I pray her family has peace and comfort in knowing that she is resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

We have always loved Jean, she made the best apple crisp of anyone and I know. When we in the old building she was the first smiling we saw.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jean at Morgan White and in the same department for four years. Ms. Jean was not only the backbone to our department but also my friend. Working along side Ms. Jean was an absolute privilege. Jean was always laughing or telling us stories and that is what I’ll miss the most!! Her laugh, her smile, always caring for and about others. Jean was one in a million and our family at Morgan White and Employer Services division will never be the same. God has...
