Jean worked as the office manager for Peter Levin Pontiac from 1981 until she retired. She also worked for Burt Rose Ford in Roseland for 25 years, from 1956–1981. She was an avid reader and loved to travel. She visited many European countries, took many cruises, and visited many U.S. cities. Jean belonged to a Senior Bowling League and Bridge Clubs, and she enjoyed playing cards. She loved throwing parties and entertaining in her home, which was always open to everyone. She was a loyal supporter of all her grandchildren’s sports events. She enjoyed watching ballgames, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune, and outdoor activities.
Jean was a loving, caring mother, beloved grandmother and great grandmother, and dear friend to many. And she adored her fur friend, her dog “Murphy.” She had a zest for life and lived it to the fullest.
