She also enjoyed gardening, baking, dancing, painting, crocheting, ceramics, stained glass, sports, Opera, and cards. Jean was an avid

Detroit Red Wing Hockey fan never missing a televised game. Jean was active in PTA at her children's schools. She served as president of the local PTA for a term. Jean, along with her husband, started the Warren Youth Hockey league. She served as registrar for the league, then the area, and eventually as registrar for youth hockey in the state of Michigan. In 1985 she retired from a career as a bookkeeper but she always considered her main career to be devoted wife and homemaker. She was a member of the Morning Sun Presbyterian Church and the Oxford Seniors. A memorial service will be held in Michigan at a later date to be announced. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation be made to Oxford Seniors in her memory. Online condolences to
