Jean was a spicy lady. Full of life up to the very end. She loved good food, dancing, being doted on, old movies, and people. Jean was a content, classy lady. Jean moved to California at the age of 16 where she resided until 1991 when she returned to Arkansas. Making her way through life mostly on her own. She was a very hard worker. Working the telephone switchboard in her early years, managing property, cleaning houses, and in her 80's working at Wal-Mart.
