To Jean's family. I am so sad and shocked to read of her passing. She and I worked together in Amarillo at WBU. We stayed in touch and the last time we spoke she was feeling better than she had in a while. We would go long periods of time between calls but time had gotten away from us. It doesn't seem like a year. She was a strong little Lady that adored her family. I will miss her dearly. Our prayers are with you.

Dorothy, I may have waited too long to post this, but Mary got your message. Thanks for letting us know. I tried both of Jean's numbers to no avail and didn't remember your last name to see if Google knows you. And the survivors were not mentioned in the obit. I do have a memory that happened back when we were all young, Mike was not walking yet. Both our families went to Colorado (remember very little about the trip) But you can calculate our ages by Mike's. The memory is that Jean and I were walking behind the parents with her carrying Mike. We got some hostile looks by appearing to have had a baby at that age. I had talked with Jean off and on and had sent a few old, old photos. Hope you are doing well

I'm so sorry to hear of Jeans passing.Such a sweet lady. Got to know her when she lived in Plainview. She worked at WBU & I worked at the Post Office.

I am so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. I worked with Jean in the alumni office when I was a student at Wayland back in 92-94. Even though she was serious about our work, we shared a lot of fun and laughs and I have the pictures to prove it! Every time I sort my mail, I hear Jean's voice telling me the most efficient way to handle paperwork. I imagine her cringing at my inefficiency and saying "handle each paper only once!" Jean will always hold a very very special place in my heart.
