Jean Lynn Engerson

Jean Engerson, 84, passed away Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
Jean was born November 12,1939 in Detroit to Leon and Ethel Engerson, both now deceased. She was a loyal daughter who took wonderful care of both of her parents for all of their lives.
She graduated from St Paul on the Lake High School with a group of friends that enjoyed regular get togethers for the next 60 years. She continued her education at Wellesley College.
Jean was a people person who shared her gifts with countless others in numerous ways. She was honored as a long serving probation officer for the Cities of Grosse Pointe and Grosse Pointe Farms. Her greatest joy was serving as an official Godmother, a "fairy god mother" or just Aunt Jean to the children of her friends. She could always be counted on to take the kids to their activities, wait for them and return them safely with a new story to tell. Jean always had treats for the kids, probably so she could have one herself. She loved her Marshmallow Peeps.
Jean was also an accomplished knitter. Her knitting needles and yarn were always with her. She knitted beautiful gifts all year long that she enjoyed giving to recognize special occasions.
She was a resident of American House where she was loved by fellow residents and caring staff. She leaves behind loving cousins, and a generation of "kids" that will miss and cherish her as their very special Aunt Jean.
A funeral mass will be held at 10am Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at St Paul Catholic Church in Grosse Pointe Farms. A graveside service will be held at a future date in Edmore, Michigan where Jean will be laid to rest next to her parents.
