Beauty and grace entered the Gates of Heaven on October 12, 2015 at the age of 76. Jean loved her husband Ted of almost 56 years. The two were married on January 28, 1960 at Bergstrom AFB in Austin, Texas.
The family settled into their first home at Bergstrom in 1964 and brought home their first child, a beautiful girl that she loved with all of heart, Saundra. The family moved to Mt. Home AFB in Idaho and with love and joy they brought home a baby boy, John. Jean loved her children deeply and enjoyed taking them to track meets, girlscouting, slumber parties, football and baseball games, and for music that John participated in. Her two children were her laughline and loveline, making her smile until the end.
Jean also loved her grandsons Dylan Scott Edds and his wife Darby, Justin Colbee Channing, Colden and Colbee Channing, her granddaughter Lacen Channing, as well as her great grandson Jaxon Randall Edds and Quinton Channing. She was unable to meet her new grandson due January 24th Kolton Russell Edds or to see her grandson graduate from the Police Academy, but she will be with them in spirit.
