Her life was centered around her children and grandchildren.

She had a profound love of people and music. She possessed more talents than we can name and shared them with others as she loved, served, and influenced everyone. She had perfected Christlike attributes that others felt and learned from. She was known as Mom, Grandma, Grams, Jean, and Aunt Jean to everyone else.

She is survived by her children, 13 grandchildren (the loves of her life), 35 great grandchildren, brother Howard Norton (Betty), sisters Amy Mitchell (Norm), Louise Thomas, Mary Lou Leuders, and Elaine Pappas, and numerous nieces, nephews, as well as unnumbered others who called her “Aunt Jean”.

Her beautiful legacy will be forever remembered in all our lives. She always told everyone, “I love you”. Grandma, you are finally home.
