Jean had a love of reading; you could always find her with a good book or the daily newspaper in her hand.  She was a huge fan of Elvis and collected all his records that she would play.  Jean enjoyed being outside as well as family get togethers.  She took great joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  When she moved back to St. Charles she worked as a cafeteria aide for many years. She was grandma to all the kids she ever met.  Jean was always ready to go shopping or grab lunch, she just needed to put her shoes on and grab her purse!  She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
