------------------------

Jean was the life of the party, easily becoming friends with everyone she met, whether it was her clients or a grocery shop cashier. She had high standards for herself, always working towards perfection, while still being eager to help others. She is remembered by her two brothers, loving daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren whom she watched grow up. After a life of hard work, her family wishes her a restful slumber.
