Jean grew up in Luray and Alexandria. She attended Madison College and worked as a medical records librarian at Dewitt Army Hospital. In retirement, Jean enjoyed golf, Bible study, and time spent hosting family and friends.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents and by her devoted husband of 61 years, Russell Earl McLennan. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Wright (Boggs); grandchildren, Angela Corvin(Anthony), Russell Wright (Bridget) and Erin East (John); and great-grandchildren, Jacob Corvin, Jack East, Courtney East, and Teagan Wright.

The family wants to thank Jean's neighborhood friends who were such a support. A special thanks goes to the administration and caregivers of Trinity Senior Village.
