Jean was committed to her family and was the ultimate confidant. She lived in a way that made everyone she came in contact with feel seen, appreciated and valued. In everything life brought her way, Jean maintained a smile on her face and responded with a sense of humor and ease. She was continuously in awe of nature and all its beauty.
