Jean was an excellent seamstress and crafter. Jean loved her longtime job as a Teachers aide at Danville District #118 schools. She made Christmas special spending weeks decorating, baking, and preparing for the family gathering. She loved her dog, Beau. Jean was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a selfless woman and put her family first while loving them all equally. Jeans compassionate heart led her to always give to those in need. Although small in stature it never stopped her for standing up for what was good, right and fair, she was a force to be reckoned with.
