Jean retired from Elbridge Public Schools, where she was a secretary for over ten years.  In her spare time, Jean enjoyed sewing, quilting, selling her projects at craft shows, admiring eagles and being an avid Detroit Tigers fan.  Jean also enjoyed the winters she was able to spend in Zephryhills, Florida, where she made many friends and was able to watch the sky divers.
