survived by her brother James (Jerry) Krueger, special friend and caregiver Lisa Fredenburgh,

Fond memories of learning to fish, swim, and boat rides, Grandma GiGi refilling her candy dish
for their next visit, and cozy carpet everywhere remain with her great-grandchildren. Stories of
visits from her Culligan delivery man, Mark, whom she looked forward to seeing and getting a
snack from her goodie basket.
Jean will be missed by many as her door was always open to welcome guests for good
conversation and a game of cribbage!

Sorry to hear about Jean. I did take mother up north once to see Jean but never got back to visit. I remember the day when Jean got married. It was at Aunt Marjorie's house. She was a fun person. God Bless everyone that loved her.
