Jean dedicated her life to servitude. She was a den leader when her boys were in the Boy Scouts. Having a husband in the military did not slow her down – she served our country overseas and stateside in many different administrative assistant roles starting in1967 which led to the Pentagon and then the Anniston Army Depot where she retired in 1999. She then returned to work for URS Corp from 2000 to 2012 before she retired a second time. She loved being a wife and mother and then eventually a grandmother and great-grandmother. Jean was an amazing woman and will be greatly missed by all family and friends.
