I met Jean when we both worked at Virginia House Furniture. I lived right across the street and we car pooled everyday to work. Since I left Marion many years ago, we lost touch but I never forgot what a lovely person she was. My prayers are with her family and friends.

I worked with Jean at the bank and that's where our friendship began. Jean was such a sweet and fun loving lady who never met a stranger! Even in her sickness, she was still able to find some way to be humorous. She will be greatly missed! May the Lord send comfort and peace to her family!
