Jean's life was a beautiful testament to unconditional love, devotion, and family. She selflessly dedicated herself to raising her children and grandchildren, showering them with unwavering support and affection. Every milestone, practice, and game was a cherished opportunity for her to show up, cheer them on, and instill in the them the values of love, kindness, and togetherness that will forever be her legacy.
Jean enjoyed gardening and cultivated beautiful flowers at her home in Marumsco Woods, Woodbridge, since 1965. She was also an avid Washington Nationals and Washington Commanders fan and enjoyed watching ballgames with her family. She was a great cook and was well known for her delicious potato salad, cookies, fudge and many other dishes.
