Jean loved remembering family and friends with cards on their birthdays and other special occasions.  She was known for her meticulously beautiful handwriting and her very long memory.  She was a natural storyteller and loved to reminisce about her youth and the people she has loved in her lifetime.  Jean lovingly wrapped gifts, prepared special meals, and crocheted beautiful afghans to bless the people she cared about, paying attention to detail and showing how much she treasured each relationship.
