My deepest condolences to her children and all her friends. Sister Howell was my relief Society President when my family lived in Murray. I loved her dearly she was a anchor in my life. I loved going to her home in Murray and visiting her garden and kitchen. She loved football especially if her boys were playing. She came to visit me in Florida along time ago and at that time she was moving around living with her sons. She was a great example of strength and faith. My life changed so much for...

Jean was like my second mom when I was growing up. She was a very sweet lady. I will always remember how good her gardens were and the great breakfasts she made when I slept over at her house. My condolences to the family.

Dreams From the Heart

I remember sitting in Jean's kitchen in Murray and visiting with her and feeling so contented in her rocking chair. She was and is the sweetest and kindest person I have even known.

I have always loved her as a very special friend.
