Jean entertained her friends as if they were Royalty. Jean enjoyed teaching. Sometimes she would tell her Bridge group a very funny child story.
Jean loved her children lots and lots - she smiled all over when she talked about them. Im sure her grandchildren, Great etc. were adored by Jean.
Warm memories, JoAnn Thiele (formerly OSU Engineer Wives Club and Avid Bridge player.)
