Prior to her retirement, she was employed for many years by Jamestown Public School District in the book-keeping department at the Administration Building.

She was a member of First Covenant Church and Gideons Jamestown Camp.

When Jean married John, two families in her heart became one. She is sur-vived in Jamestown by JoAnn and Don Anderson, Dick and Cindy Holt, Susan and Terry Meyers (Syra-cuse, N.Y.), Paul and Nan-cy Holt, and their families.
