Have such fond memories with Jean especially when I was little. Taking me to Elvis movies. We kept in touch as old folks do on Facebook sharing news both old and new. I appreciated how she loved my brother. Thinking of you all and lifting you up in prayers. Love Aunt Ann

Jean was not only my family but was a friend and a confidant. She loved big and kept us all connected and grounded. I could never express my gratitude for all the help she gave me when taking care of my dad/her brother Jimmie. I'm grateful to have had her in my life and will miss our phone calls and texts. I love you to infinity Jean and I hope you are laughing and telling stories with all our family who were waiting for you.

I worked with jane at Siemens. I'm so sorry to hear that she passed away. Jean would tell me every year at Christmas time that she was listening to her Elvis Presley Christmas cd that I had gotten her one year for Christmas. I'll never forget her and I'll miss talking to her. Rest in peace sweet Jean.

I worked with Jean at Texas Instruments. She was my carousel operator. Jean was a happy hard worker.
I´m glad to see she lived a full life.
