Sep 30, 1929 – May 27, 2020 (Age 90)
Jean passed peacefully from this life on May 27, 2020. She spent her final days surrounded by her family and conversing with her dear friends. She will be dearly missed, but Heaven will certainly be more fun with her in it.
Jean worked for over 40 years at Blanchet High School in the tuition office. She immersed herself in the community that became part of her family. Indeed, all three of her children and four grandchildren attended Blanchet. Known among the students as “The Can Lady”, she also collected many a gum fine and innumerable friends while there.
Jean always had a smile on her face and a kind word on her lips. She enjoyed sports (Go Mariners!), puzzles and rousing games of group solitaire. No doubt she’s currently playing a rousing game with her brother Jack in Heaven.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Jean will mostly be remembered for her unflagging devotion to her family and faith. She has finally gone home to the Lord and all her dear family and friends who predeceased her, most notably her husband Bob.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Jean may be made to

My condolences to the Hopkins family. I met Jean at the fitness center and we spent many years exercising, talking and joking together. I am grateful that we were friends for a long, long time.

Jean immediately welcomed me to Blanchet in the early 90s with her bright smile and joking laughter. A few years later I moved out-of-state, but Jean remained a friend and stayed in touch over the years. She was truly a loving person and gave me many cherished memories.

Dear Hopkins Family,
My sincerest condolences at the passing of one of the kindest most fun people I ever had the pleasure to know!
Jean was a gentle soul and she always made every student at Blanchet feel good and that they belonged. I will always remember her fondly and with a smile. Jean always had a smile on her face and she loved to tell a good joke or two!
Go Braves!
May she Rest In Peace!

Dear Kathy, Kris, Nicole and the rest of the family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved mom/grandma, Jean. She was a light in my daily life when I was teaching at BBHS. I also loved her Christmas cards that she sent which usually included some positive prayer or sentiment. She is in a better place and making heaven a lot more fun with her smile and zest! Rest In Peace, Jean.

I worked with Jean at Blanchet from 1991 to 2001. She was always friendly and kind, but she was especially kind to me when my beloved sister-in-law Teri was dying from breast cancer at age 47. Jean prayed for Teri, and sent me a mass card from the Society of the Little Flower, St. Therese. Jean was devoted to St. Therese and to her own faith. We have stayed in touch since I left Blanchet through Christmas cards, and I have called her every year during the holiday season when she no longer...
