Jean was born January 5, 1942 in Plaquemine, LA to Zettie Neel Dumas and James Odis Dumas and passed away peacefully Monday, November 17, 2025 in West Monroe, LA surrounded by her loved ones. She built a full and joyful life rooted in family, faith, and service to others.

Over the years, Jean worked in a variety of roles and touched countless lives through her dedication and strong work ethic. She spent many years as an inspector at Laurens Glass and later served as Personnel Director at Long Leaf Nursing Home, among other positions throughout her lifetime.

Jean was happiest when surrounded by family. She loved fishing, hunting, cooking, and spending as much time with Ted as she could. She also delighted in playing the organ at church, sewing, and offering a helping hand to anyone in need. Her bold personality, warm smile, and generous heart made her unforgettable. Jean never met a stranger-if she did, they were friends by the time the conversation ended.

Jean is survived by her devoted husband, Ted Barmore; her children Judy Baker (Steve), Julie Brown (Jason), Bubba Lee (Patricia), Lori Knox (Raymond), and Brandon Barmore (Stephanie); Brother, Bud Dumas (Betty); and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Her grandchildren include Chris Baker (Emily), Dusty Baker, Megan Boyce (Mims), Jodi Perritt (Greg), Kasey Baker (Hannah), Annie Cain (Jacob), Justin Wininger (Heather), Jayme Bell (Jamie), Kaylee Brown, Cassidy Barmore, Abagael Barmore, Connor Lee, Brenden Barmore, Jordan Durant, Seth McGraw, and Allison McGraw, along with numerous great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.

Serving as pallbearers will be Chris Baker, Dusty Baker, Kasey Baker, Brendan Barmore, Will Billberry, and Michael Barmore. Honorary pallbearer is Jordan Durant.

The family extends a heartfelt thank-you to Morgan Barmore for her commitment to always being there for Jean along with Glenwood Regional Medical Center and Alpine Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation for the exceptional care and compassion they provided during Jean's final days

Jean leaves behind a legacy of strength, love, and kindness that will continue to live on in all who knew her. She will be profoundly missed
