Jean accepted Christ at a very early age, she knew the Lord. She had a vibrant voluptuous personality, that would light up a room. Jean loved fishing with her son Mark, gambling, traveling, and spending time with her family. She also loves cooking and catering to others, especially her family. She would always put others first, sometimes taking from herself. She would give you the benefit of the doubt. Jean was a God fearing Christian.
