Jean Dalton was very strong in her faith. God was first, family and friends were next. She always was busy sewing and making things for someone or the babies at church or Avista Hospital. Jean loved her family with her whole heart. She enjoyed spending time in the mountains fishing, hiking with friends or family, and camping. Jean was a great cook and loved to prepare big meals for family celebrations. We love you, Mom and miss you a ton!
