She is survived by her sisters Judy Abell and Miriam Lawson. She celebrated fifty years of marriage to her husband, Dave prior to his passing in 2022.
Jean was an extremely talented pianist and organist. Being born with perfect pitch, she could hear any piece of music and then sit down and play it by ear. She graduated from Madison College with a degree in music and did post graduate work at the Peabody Conservatory. She came to Maryland and began as an elementary music teacher. As a longtime Orioles fan, she was always proud of being a teacher of Cal Ripken Jr.
In addition to her love of music, she loved all of her pets (& grandpets) over the years. Jean was known to be a selfless, caring soul always worrying/tending to others. This did not stop once she received her cancer diagnosis. She continued to care for others over herself to include her final days.
