May God bless you in your hour of need. I will always remember my dear friend, Jean. I worked with her for 15 years and I enjoyed every time we got together and had lunch or dinner sometimes. She was the sweetest person I ever met.

Jean really touched my heart - she was a dear friend. I'll never forget the fun we had in the craft group at St. Francis. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Jean was most definitely a 'fab' lady and such a 'ball of fire'! Our loss is heaven's gain with a true angel.

Jean was indeed a very special person and did make everyone feel special. She was always full of life and filled any room she was in with hapiness. I will miss her Christmas updates! Heaven has another angel.
Watch out Ernie here comes Jean!

On behalf of the Lois Strassburger Kupfert (Bernard F) family, I send our sincere sympathy to Jean"s family. I hold dear our remembrance of the family reunion at Jumer's Restaurant when she was in Peoria and brought us all together.

The Rothan reunion she organized when she came to town for Peoria High's 150th anniversary brought together multiple generations. Our shared ancestor: Joseph Rothan, a Union soldier who came to Peoria after the Civil War. Family ties meant a lot.
