A very special person and we have lost a precious friend from our college days. We all have fond memories of her athletic prowess and moreover just her being herself. An awesome person who was part of my early life at our Beaver College.

As one of Jean's college roommates, I remember the carefree days of college and the laughs we all shared. And. of course, we all shared those wonderful memories of her romance with Bill and the many happy years that followed. Also we were very proud of her athletic accomplishments during her four years at Beaver. She was a special person and will be fondly remembered.
