Aunt Jean will be greatly missed by all that knew her. She had a warm heart, beautiful smile and always spoke of such soft kind words. Her faith and wisdom in God was strong and encouraging. She has not left us but is now among us with the wings of an angel. She is not suffering or in pain anymore and was blessed with an abundance of happiness the day she left. We can all be assured that her and Uncle Frank are once and for all together again and watching over us all. Rest In Peace Aunt Jean, we will cherish the memories that you gave us for ever. We Love You!!

Bernie and Family,
My Mother (Betty Dobler) lived at Woodland Estates until she passed away and loved being around your mother. They did puzzles together. And whenever I came home to visit, I enjoyed seeing your mom at the 'big house'. When my mom was in the hospital off and on, your mother was always one of the first to ask how she was doing. She was a very caring, loving lady and I know will be missed by so many.

Losing a parent is never easy, just cherish the fond memories you have of her.

Aunt Jean has always and will continue to hold a very special place in my heart. Lots of memories to hold onto and pass to generations to come. Her faith in God was a inspiration to all that knew her. Aunt Jean has not left us, I am sure she is one of God's # 1 angels watching over us.

I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Jean through her niece, Teresa, and by working at Steck and having lunch over at Woodland Estates. Jean was so kind and sweet-spirited, always had a smile. I feel blessed having known her. My sincere condolences to your family.
