Jean lived and loved every day. Some recollections of her life are: running the store, managing the offices, all the while being the heart of the home. Family celebrating, games and cards. Summer camping and snowbird winters. Vegas, casinos, bingos and ponies. A whole lotta shaking with The King.

We are blessed by the countless memories that we will cherish and treasure with our Mom (Baba) and Dad (Dee). Until we meet again. Forever in our hearts.
