She graduated from Ephrata High School in 1968 and from Millersville University in 1972.
In addition to her mother and children, she is survived by a sister, Carol Ann, wife of Steven Flick, Sinking Spring.
Jay was born in Lancaster, a son of Ivan R., and Dorothy M. (Martin) Good.

Services will begin Saturday at 11 a.m. in Bethany UCC, with the Rev. Mark J. Johnson officiating. Burial will be in Old Bethany Cemetery, Ephrata Township.

Everyone ~ I cannot express in text, how much I (we) appreciate the love, concern, prayers, visits, cards, gifts, support, etc., that everyone is giving all of us. The out pouring of affection is truely meaningful. Please know that to each and every one for what ever you do, it means so much. Jean and the entire family which I am a part of, is one of the reasons that I moved to Lancaster County almost 18 years ago. If I would have had a sister, I would have wanted her to be just like Jean. I have lost a favorite & irreplacable first cousin. I think Jean would want us to continue to do what she loved doing best. Teaching others language arts. So, keep reading! Because knowledge is power, and , learn a little bit about everything in life. Pass it on......
And the continued support for Jacy with visits is huge. I hope to be able to assist her in rehab when she gets to that point ; I know she will.
I'd like to quote a friend of mine from an e-mail: "Your cousin and her husband live on in their daughter. Everything she does, & everything she is, and will be, all of this was made possible by Jay and Jeans love & direction". (cpetko)
Again, thank you all, for what you do.
Cousin (Uncle) David

I don't know any of you personally, but when I read about this tragedy, I felt so awful! We are not supposed to question why, but it is times like this where we have to wonder. Only God can see the bigger picture and everything happens for a reason. I pray for Jacy to recover and that your family may somehow find the strength to move forward. Thinking about you always!
