Hard to believe Jean has been absent from our lives for almost 12 years! She was a good friend and employee. She was loved and respected by many of the softball players in the leagues she helped me operate. Many players knew her as one of her students! She was extremely dependable and always showed her common sense approach to supervising the leagues! Rest In Peace Jean Hare!

To Mrs. Hare's family...I will always remember Mrs. Hare as being my favorite softball coach. She was so patient with all of us at Lake Worth Lassie League. I smile whenever I think of her. We were all blessed to have known her.
Sincerely,
Chris Murray McCoy

My condolences to the family of Jean hare, for their loss. Jean worked for and with me for many years as a Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department softball league supervisor and a scorekeeper. I placed great reliance on her dependability and the quality of her work. The fact she was a great person, was a plus. Many softball players knew her as Miss Hare because she taught them in Elementary School. The players would often give me a hard time, but never Jean. She always received their respect! This is a great loss to all who knew her! Rest In Peace, Jean!
