Jean will be dearly missed by her sons, Gregory (Patricia) and Jeffrey (Karen) and daughter, Patricia Filsinger (Rick). Jean's six grandchildren, Drew (Alison), Erin (Adam), Ryan (Ligon), Amy (Phil), Jason (Stephanie) and Josh (Glendys). Jean's seven great grandchildren, Charlotte, Callen, Emmett, Sally, Jane, Dominic and Gene.

Jean enjoyed her Waterloo and Florida homes with Hank. She loved visiting with friends and family around the kitchen table. If it was after four o'clock there may have been a rum and coke involved. There was always a treat for any dog that walked passed her home. The blue jays and squirrels will truly miss the peanuts she left out on a cold winter day.

Thanks to the seventh floor team members at The Village of Winston Park.
