Sorry to hear about Jean, very sad. I was a student at TSTI 81-82 of her and Wayne's Saddle and Tack Making program. She was always a nice and fun lady.

I was a student of Jean's in 84/85. I still think of her and her teachings when I am tooling leather. I appreciate you so much Jean. You will be missed. Donna

I was one of Wayne's and Jean's students at Texas State Technical Institute back in 1979-81. I still think of them often, and I am deeply saddened to hear this news. Jean was one of those very, very unique, special people, and I always felt honored to have known her. So long, Jean; you were the best, and you will not be forgotten.

She was a very special lady. Enjoyed visiting with her at the Chuckwagon cook offs. She always had time to talk to you.
First met her in Abilene, then visited in Ft Worth and Oklahoma C-C wagon in Ft Worth in October. God bless this family.

My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Jean. It is never easy to lose a wife, parent or grandparent no matter your age. I pray for your family's peace and comfort as you continue your life journey without Jean's earthly presence.
