Jeane was a beautiful and a wonderful bus driver, she broke down one winter night. She walk about 1/2 mile to our home to get help. No children were on board. My 3 yr old asked if he could go to school with her. She said not yet, a few days later she brought him a duplicate of her bus, he was thrill and still has it. We use to catch turtle for their win game dinner. She was much love.

Jean was my bus driver many years ago. I think it was Bus T. She was indeed a favorite and really looked after the kids in her charge. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Jean was my bus driver for many years that then evolved into a great friendship. She was always a great listener and willing to give advice when asked, pulling no punches. She helped me make a major decision that definitely changed my life for the better. My condolences to her family. I was very lucky to call her a friend.

Jean was a key figure in my life, from my young years to adulthood, she was one of the loving mentors a girl could have. I believe she knew how much I loved her and whenever we spoke she let me know how much she cared for me. Being away from NY for nearly 12 years caused us to lose touch, but "Grandma Jean" you will always be in my heart. RIP grand lady, Jesus surely gained a great angel!
