Jean will be sadly missed by her many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Jean loved spending time with her family and friends. She had a heart of gold and so much love for everyone. She enjoyed being outdoors, campfires and gardening. She loved to knit and crochet creating one-of-a-kind afghans as keepsakes. Jean remained positive no matter the circumstance she was facing. She fought a good fight, right to the end.
