My memories of Aunt Jean are mainly centered around happy times at the family farm in Pennsylvania. Feasting around Grandpa Joe and Grandma Eulas huge table, or competitively playing cards. Her easy smile and calm manner was ever present,and she always had time to listen.

I met Jean and Susan several years ago and loved them at our first meeting! No matter how poorly Jean was feeling, she greeted me with a warm and caring smile! Jean had a positive impact on everyone around her! It has been an honor to be Jean’s care navigator and friend!

My fondest memory of Jean is her beautiful smile which completely revealed her beautiful spirit. Whenever you would be in her presence she was completely engaged in the conversation. She would listen, respond thoughtfully , and always have something meaningful to say. When you were lucky enough to have time with her you knew you would be blessed by the experience.
Thank you Jean for being such a shining example to women who felt called to ministry. Especially those of us who came to ministry later in life. Not only did you tell us it could be done you showed us how to do it with profound strength and grace. Thanking God for blessing me with the gift of knowing you and sharing the journey, even for a little while. Rest in peace sweet sister. Thank you.
My fondest memory of Rev Jean is her beautiful smile and her open living spirit. She was always completely engaged and focused on whoever she was with. When you were speaking with her she gave you her full attention and always had a thoughtful, appropriate response. She had been a beloved counselor and mentor - a beautiful example of a woman who loved being in ministry to all and I will be forever grateful for the time we spent together and her impact on my life.
Rest in Peace sweet sister. Well done!!
