I send my sincere sympathy to all of the family. I have many fond memories of our conversations about her family and mine when we both taught over at Dressel School. Not to mention my visits to their home in Webster to repair a clock now and then for her and her husband. She was a wonderful lady and friend.

I met Jean at Crestwood Elementary in1980. She generously gifted our family with a Christmas tree for our nursery as a baby shower gift. Everyone gave us ornaments for the tree. We put that tree in the nursery for several years and then in another room. We still have the tree today and I think of her every year. She was a caring teacher and reading specialist and I appreciated and respected her assistance.

I met Jean when I was a child in Potosi,MO. My family and I lived next to your uncle, Don. Don worked for my dad at Brown Shoe. Later, Jean and I taught together in Lindbergh. Jean and your dad were wonderful people. Both worked to do so much good for others. Good role models for us all.
You have my sympathy. God bless you. You got to keep her for a long time. JoAnn Kimbrough Moberly
