  2. As a person, Jean was kind, caring, and thoughtful. As a Christian, she was faithful and filled with the joy of His Spirit. As an Aunt, she was fun energetic and loving.She was a beautiful person inside and out and led a beautiful life. Losing her is a loss felt by many. Even though she now resides in the Heavenly Arms of her Lord, we will always carry her memory in our hearts. May our thoughts, prayers, and loving memories bring comfort to her husband Sam during this difficult time.

    Jean and I met in Virginia Connole’s group at Joyful Life in 1982. I remember her zest for learning and sharing God’s word even then. We enjoyed many more studies together, prayer, and luncheons, including a train trip to tea in old San Juan. She was generous, compassionate, full of life, tenderhearted and loved to share Jesus with anyone she met. I will miss you, precious friend.
    Love, Carol Bailey
