My deepest sympathy to Jean's family. We worked together many years ago at WCH and she was a great asset to the hospital.

I worked with Jean at Williamsburg Community Hospital she was a special person and would always make us laugh til we cried, plus trying to stay out of trouble with the boss! She was a unique lady and I will always cherish the memories we all share. Anne Newsome

Bob and family,
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. I knew your mother when we both worked for Williamsburg Community Hospital. She was a great lady, always there to help those in need.
