Jean shared wonderful stories and great memories of growing up on a farm with her three cousins and her horse.

In her teenage years she moved to Ellensburg, Washington where she graduated from high school. She met her husband Norris and they started their new life in Yakima, Washington where she was a legal secretary until they started their family. After raising two children, Jean reentered the workforce as a medical transcriptionist at Memorial Hospital. She later married Arnold Jackson in 1994. They enjoyed a 5 week trip around Australia on their Goldwing, accompanied by other members of their motorcycle club. They enjoyed seeing everything from the beautiful coastal cities to the great Outback. When they retired, Arnie and Jean liked to winter in Quartzsite, Arizona as well as many other cross country trips.

Jean made it to every possible sporting event that her grandchildren participated in and loved to cook each of their favorite meals and desserts. During the Christmas holidays there was hardly enough room on her mantle to hang everyones' stockings, which she also made herself.
