Jean was my oldest friend, we met when we were 15 years old. We camped together as a family for many years. Our friendship continued, even though I moved out of state, we would talk on the phone a lot, and enjoyed sharing our conversations about politics, books, and our children and grandchildren. I will miss all these conversations. Jean was a good person and had a great sense of humor, we laughed a lot. My sympathies go to her entire family.

Guestbook
My sympathies to Jeans family. I attended grade and high school with Jean. I remember her friendliness, she was always kind to all. Many memories.
Jean had been a beloved bridge partner to my mom Judy Host for years and always willing to join my mom in garage sale efforts. Jean introduced me to sunless tanning lotion. 🙂 My sympathy to Lori and all of Jean’s family.
