She sang in the choir and was the Mother of the Church, a member of the Pastors Support Ministry, Missionary, the Truth Faith Regrowth Ministry and the Finance Ministry.
She was well-known for her cooking and it is said that her potato salad and pound cake were the best! Family meant everything to her. She enjoyed babysitting and looking after her grandchildren. In her spare time, she loved to read and enjoyed playing Solitaire.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her daughter, Porsha M. Carlisle of Reading; two grandchildren, Khanya U. Carlisle-Patience of Arlington, TX and Khalil W.

In addition to her parents, Charlie and Runella, Jean is predeceased by two brothers, Royce C. and Michael R. Carlisle; and two sisters, Zalnetta E. (Carlisle) Saffore and Delores N. Carlisle Huggins.
