Not sure what to say?

Frosty gave me some of the best financial advice I ever received. She reminded me to plan ahead and save every month with a PPS pre-tax program. That advice served me well and I will always value my memories of her.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

To all of Jean's family and friends and Ann I extend my deepest sympathy . I met Jean in her later years in a water aerobics class. I delighted in knowing her for her humor intelligence and love of people. I am truly sorry not to have known her longer. She really enlivened our time in the pool whenever she was there!! I feel fortunate to have known her.

Jean Frost was a profoundly intelligent and witty advisor at Cleveland High School who guided me to Wellesley College in 1986. She was so supportive of her students and changed my life for the better, as I made friends and connections through Wellesley that I'll have my whole life. She will be missed.

I share in your sadness over the loss of such a dynamic personality. I remember Jean as being low keyed with a quick intelligence. she was democratic to all and had the ability to act on what she thought what was right because of her sure headness.I am sure she will be remembered with kind thoughts and a smile by all who knew her.

I had the privilege of meeting Jean when I was a fellow counselor at Cleveland. She gave me some of the best advice I ever got about finances and I will never forget her kindness. She was genuine and generous, and I will always remember her fondly. Rest in peace, my friend.

Jean receiving her 10-year volunteer award at Our House in 2007.

I had the privilege of working with Jean for 10 years at Our House. What a wit! What an original! She was genuine and funnier than hell! I'll always smile to think of her.

I was privileged to know Jean through Duniway and Cleveland HS parent activities, and also through local political volunteer efforts in the 60s and 70s. I particularly remember her forming and coaching kids' baseball teams at a time when daughter Sarah wanted to play, but girls were not allowed in Little League. Jean was always great company, and a strong force for good in the community. She will be missed by many.

My condolences to Jean's family members and everyone who loves Jean. As I share the loss, I also want to share what Jean did for me. I was a genocide survivor and refugee from Cambodia when I met Jean near the end of my senior year at Cleveland High School in 1983. Jean got me into Reed College and a summer job at Camp Westwind as a camp couselor. Her paying forward changed the course of my life: Today, I am an online banking software engineer, author ("Golden Leaf: A Khmer Rouge Genocide...
