Citrus Heights became their home town in 1957. Jean worked at Ken L Services, Reliable Pontiac and Suburban Ford prior to starting the family business, J & W Auto Wreckers, in 1981. Bookkeeping was her expertise. Jean was active in the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce and instrumental in the incorporation of Citrus Heights. Her passion for serving and presence around the community led to her often being referred to as Mrs. Citrus Heights. She was involved with the Auto Dismantlers Association and served on the Board of Directors for Hearts for Parks and the Sylvan Cemetery. Another one of her passions was Soroptimist International of Citrus Heights serving as President multiple times. Jean is survived by her husband Jack; daughter Pamala Groft (Dan), son Mark Duncan (Marie); grandchildren Samuel Groft, Sarah Groft Brooks (Nate), Neil, Savannah & Spencer Duncan; Great Grandchild Cad Brooks.
