Jean was a Christian woman with an unwavering faith which formed the bedrock of her life. Her entire life was one of service to God, her family, and others. Her kind, loving, giving spirit that always put others first, was an inspiration to our family and all that knew her. Jean was the heart of our family and our guiding light. As a dedicated nurse, she spent most of her career caring for our Veterans at the VA. She treated them with respect, a comforting touch, and a commitment to giving them the best possible care.

Jean was a deeply family-oriented person and enjoyed spending time with her family. She loved big family gatherings, shopping in Pigeon Forge, going to the beach and eating oysters, riding in the mountains, or something as simple as watching TV together. As long as she was sharing time with the family she loved so deeply, she was in her happy place.

Jean was preceded in death by her siblings, Jerry Taylor, Mike Taylor, and Jackie Winters (C.W.); daughter, Shalhla Maine (Timmy); grandchildren, Tekisha Maine and Timothy J.D. Maine.
