Jean Mary was the classiest of ladies. I will definitely miss her & Bob who were a part of a legendary North Muskegon family.

Jean Mary and Bob were always just across the street. As a kid, I´d go over to watch Bob build remote-controlled airplanes, work on his boats, or climb their small tree. They were always so kind to me, patiently answering all my curious questions with a smile.

Jean Mary and Bob made me feel welcome-both when I was a little kid and as I grew up across the street. Even after I moved away, I´d often see Jean Mary when I came back to visit-crossing paths on the street or at the mailbox. She would always ask how I was doing and what was new in my life.

I always looked forward to seeing them. They truly cared, and I deeply appreciated that. I loved knowing they were always just across the street.

They were both wonderful people, and they will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Jean Mary lingers among my most pleasant memories after about 40 years. We were in the American Society of Women Accountants back then, and I got to know her as the consummate professional, an amazing hostess and a wonderful human being. How very lucky we all were to have her with us for 95 years! I praise Him that I knew her and pray His blessing and comfort for all who love her.

Jim, Laurie and all families, so sorry to hear of the loss of Jean Mary, but 95 years is truly amazing and likely as amazing as she was throughout her life as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Celebrate your memories.
