Jean LaPorte

I met Jean through our Genealogy in 1989 through Cousin Bill Tuthill and what a wonderful person she was so
helpful and a joy to talk with over the years.
Peace Jean

I knew Aunt Jean as more mod than Maude, so cool she needed a cooler name than "aunt" connoted, so she became A.J., successful single mother ahead of societal curves, professional career woman at Ford Motor Company. Her scholarship unearthed and taught us the family history. And what I know of crockpots I learned first from Aunt Jean. Mostly, I remember Aunt Jean's charm and cheer, and how she was the nexus of family laughter.

I was Ms.Laporte's home care nurse for the last two years. The first month or so I was teaching her and Vicki but after that it was me learning from her. I learned so much. I do not know if I have ever met a stronger women. She started out as my patient, then my friend and finally a member of my family, always happy to go and visit her I was getting paid to learn and visit with a wonderful lady and her great daughter. Maybe I should have been the one paying her. I will miss, Jean so...

Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, soul and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you

I met Jean at Ford Motor Company in the early 70s. She was tall, blonde and looked fantastic in a fitted red suit. She gave me a red couch when I was down and out and needed something to sit on, and was one of the best friends I ever had. Jean was kind, generous, intelligent, and the only lady I know who had a dinosaur in her living room.

Thanks for the memories sister. Over 75 years worth, starting the day you were born. From Vandercook to Cleveland to Detroit to Hudson to Westland.

Jean-MOM,
She has touched our hearts in so many ways; I can't say enough good things about her. I am honored to be a part of her life. She is one of the nicest people we have ever met. Thank you for all the good times of laughter, conversations will be so dearly missed. Jean you will be in our hearts forever.
Love The Boley Family. Joe, Lesley, Brenden and Brittney.

Grandma Jean, the only grandmother I'm glad to have known, I will miss her dearly! Rest in peace dear lady! God Bless You!
