Jean was a wonderful woman who knew how to raise kids. When I was a little kid, I loved to go to Aunt Christine's during the summer and visit. Once we got to the Ohio River from central Indiana I knew we were almost there.I had so much fun with Steve, and Jean was the one with the common sense and grace. She will be missed by a lot of people. My Mom Bernice Snider who is almost 94 and the sister to Christine and Jean's aunt could not make it down for the funeral. Mom is having health problems and can't spend that long in the car. We are sorry we couldn't come. Once of the greatest gifts that you can give your kids is to raise them the right way. Jean certainly knew how to do that. Her kids and their families will carry on her memory and legacy for the rest of their lives.
Sincerely,
Cousin Gary Snider
