Jean was a member of the Farmer City Christian Church. She delivered meals on wheels locally for many years and worked as Curator for the Farmer City Genealogy.  She loved genealogy and even in her spare time she would research her own family and close friends. Most of all, Jean loved nature.  She loved bird watching, especially hummingbirds, watching butterflies so much that she even planted Milkweed and other plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and go hiking.

Jean was a loving mother, “Grammaw”, great “Grammaw”, sister, and devoted friend who will be deeply missed.
