In 1961, she immigrated to the United States. She was an executive administrator for Curtis Sand and Gravel for twenty years and Newhall Land and Farming for four years.
Jean is survived by her loving daughter, Linda (Johnnie) Johnsen; her loving son David Farhit, her loving grandchildren, Christopher, Justin and Kayli Johnsen; and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. Jean's mother and father, Alfred and Winifred Drew, her brother, Dennis Drew, precede her in death.

Jean's family wrote, "Jean will be missed deeply more than words can express. She touched the hearts of many with her smile, charm and kindness. Jean was a wonderful, dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. She was very kind, thoughtful and was always reaching out to help others."

Dear David and Linda,
My deepest sympathy. I was proud to have your mother as my dear friend. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of her sweet smile. She was so proud of both of you.

Jean was the consumate lady. I enjoyed working with Jean at Curtis Sand and Gravel. The last time I spoke with her, she called to thank the Zonta Club for the lovely bread that they provided with her meals on wheels. Linda and David, I am so sorry for your loss.
