My love and prayers to all of Jean's family. She was such a blessing to Jean and me when he was pastor and she was choir director at Battery Park Baptist Church. She was such a beautiful character and blessed with an outstanding and beautiful voice.
My Jean passed away June 12th. Now they are both in the presence of God.
Sincerely,
Nancy Stephens

Just wanted to leave condolences for the family. I remember as a child, some of my favorite memories were visiting Cousin Martin & Jean. I know that she will be sadly missed by all.

It was a pleasure to be able to meet Mrs. Watkins. I grew to love her just like she was part of my family. I am honored that I was asked to sing "Amazing Grace" at her funeral. Even though I was unable to ever hear Jean sing, I am sure that she is still enjoying singing now even closer to God. Prayers are with your family.

Dearest Martin, Jeannie, Mike and Family,

She was beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside. I have fond memories of visiting with you all during summers long ago and thinking how wonderful it would be to have a Mother like yours! Her kind and loving spirit was extended to many throughout her life and...

May your family rejoice in knowing that your wife, mom, and grandmother is in Heaven singing with the best choir she has every sang with "God's Choir", I know that her beautiful voice is a reward in heaven as it was here on this earth. I have known Jean since before I was old enough to know I knew her, as we all grew up together in Battery Park Church and have been neighbors forever. She had a beautiful smile and a sweet spirit and loved her Lord and Savior. That is what makes this a...

Martin, Jeanne, Michael and family... from the day I was born Jean has been a part of my life. Mama and Daddy thought so much of you and when "us kids" came along we were destined to be good friends. I have so many fond memories of Jean. She was a wonderful choir director at Battery Park Baptist (where we all grew up) and I remember her helping with Bible School and of course running the store "down the hill". Bill only got to know her after we were married but he soon became very fond of...
