I met Jean when I was working as a Girl Scout leader, back in the 1970's. She was always very professional, but smiled readily and was so friendly. I was on the Shemamo Council board of directors for several years, too, and got to know her better then. She always had the interests of the girls foremost, and did a wonderful job at being director. I also knew Jean from church (First United Methodist in Decatur). And later, we discovered that we are distant cousins, and she would occasionally come to our Davis-Campbell reunions. Jean always had a smile and a good word when she saw me. I enjoyed knowing her, and will miss her.

I tried to come to the visitation, but got stuck in my driveway. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

My sympathy to Jean's family.  I worked with her at the Oglesby mansion serving lunches with the other ladies as volunteers.  I remember Jean as such a lovely lady always with a smile.  She was so warm and welcoming to me ( a youngster in the group, only in my 40's).   She was sweet and gentle.  I remember her well and will miss her.

Sincerely,
