Hattie Jean Peterson, age 86, entered into rest on November 18, 2021 in Dallas, Texas. She entered into life on December 17, 1934 in Dallas, Texas, to Laufton Forest & Hattie Velma Moore. Jean was raised in Dallas, Texas and graduated from North Dallas High School. She married James “Pete” Peterson in 1961 and the couple had two children. She was originally employed with Great American Life Insurance then with Pete who owned several businesses before opening Shop and Go Grocery in 1982. The Petersons owned Shop and Go for 37 years with Jean as a hands on owner.
She was fortunate to travel with Pete from Hawaii to Israel to Las Vegas to England. Her later years she spent enjoying her grandchildren and still going to the casinos. She was so blessed over the last ten years of her life to have her boyfriend and love Jim Boone in her life.
Her family and friends will always remember her as a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother. She had a beautiful smile for everyone. Jean had a great work ethic and took pride in her organization and ability to juggle many businesses at the same time.

Jean is survived by her daughter, Denise Shontel Howard and husband James Howard; her son, Lance Peterson and wife Lacy Peterson; her boyfriend, Jim Boone; her grandchildren, Kevin James Peterson, Jacob Thomas Peterson, and Hannah Jean Howard; as well as many nieces and nephews.
She loved being a part of everyone’s lives!
Jean took pride that Shop and Go grocery continued on for 24 years after Pete’s death. She was a calming presence in the lives of her children and family. She always had a wonderful sense of confidence and accomplishment.
