Jean was a single mother of 5 children. She was strong willed, hard-working and always put her children’s needs before her own. Her home was always filled with laughter and love. She loved to cook, craft, paint, sew, and garden. She was a treasure hunter and collector of everything from bells to seashells, stray cats, and occasionally even a stray person or two. Her favorite times were those spent with her family.
Family and friends are invited to attend a graveside service on Monday, December 20, 2021 at 10:00AM at Resthaven Park Cemetery 6450 W. Northern Avenue in Glendale.
