Jean also owned and operated the Oak Room Restaurant with her late husband Jon for 30 years.
Jean is survived by four children, Joe (Tiffany) Sparhawk, Jamie (Aaron Mather) Sparhawk, Julie (Bryon Broka) Sparhawk, Jason (Sarah) Sparhawk; three grandsons, Jackson, Jon, and Nash; five granddaughters, Ryann, Adalyn, Olivia, Harper, and Avery; two brothers, Gary and Brian Conkey; and several nieces, nephews and in-laws.
Mass will be Friday at 10:00 AM at Christ the King Catholic Church with Father Mark Moore officiating.

Memories and Condolences
for Jean Sparhawk
May 25, 2015
Although I did not know this lady personally, I would just like to say that her passing, and that of her husband, is a loss for the whole southeastern Ohio area. The Oak Rom catered some dinners at the plant where I worked in Wellston. The name was known and respected throughout the area. So very sorry for your loss. GOD BLESS.

To all our Sparhawk and Conkey, Families and Friends, like many of you I too was raised in Athens and Schooled in Athens, and even later became a a Supplier of Jean, John and then the Family. Tho Jon and I were/are Pals forever. I was jealous that Jean would give me a hug and a peck. And then grab Mom Nada and outside they would go to enjoy each other's company. No more worries. They're together again. Here is to the New Glue. Forward Ho. Great Legacy for the Future. The Kerrs.

Jean was a wonderful "sister" to me, and sister-in-law to my husband, Dick, Jon's brother. We're so grateful for all the crazy, wonderful times we shared with Jon and Jean. God, please watch over their children and grandchildren, and help them find comfort in your love.

We've all lost a wonderful friend. Jean knew how to have fun and enjoy life, and if you were with her, you would do the same. She was generous to our family, and interested in our lives She would gladly celebrate the good fortune and commiserate when times were difficult;always with good humor. Larry and I are among the many who will miss her. We had so much fun and I always looked forward to my time with her. Jean loved life and she loved her family. Joe, Jamie, Jason, Julie and your spouses need to know that the love you showed your mom and the care you provided is a powerful testament to the wonderful woman she was. We loved your mom and we love and respect all of you.
