Jean Bernice Camps

Jean Bernice Camps, 83, of Franklin, WI, passed away on November 29, 2025. She was born in Eden, WI to the late William and Edna Clark. Preceded in death by her loving husband Thaddeus "Ted" Camps, brothers Edward, William, Merl "Butchie", and sister Bernice. Jean had a passion for life and found immense joy in the simple pleasures. Her favorite foods were anything sugary and sweet. An avid gambler, she loved visiting the casino and trying her luck with poker, and could talk sports with the best of them. This hobby was a source of excitement and fun throughout her life.

She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws, and extended family members.
