My heart breaks reading this obituary for Jean. She and I had made contact some time ago and I never found the "right" time to discuss how much she changed my life and the impact she had on the woman I've become. Words could never express all that I feel knowing that I will never have the opportunity to share how much she meant to me during a very confusing time of my life and the regret that I feel for missing this chance
Please know that I'm sending you comfort during this difficult time. I lost my mom in September of 2017 and there is a void during the Holidays that can't be filled. I was too young to remember a lot of their relationship but I will always remember how she made me feel. The unconditional love, sharing and warmth that she showed me were an essential part of growing up knowing that I mattered and that my voice should be heard.
I still attribute my love of elephants, poetry and nature along with my deep-rooted kindness and
acceptance in large part to the example she showed me. Please know she lives on in some of the very best qualities that make up the patchwork of my life.
Deepest regards and if you want to reach out, I would welcome this whole- heartedly.
Chrissy

Oh, Jean, you inspired me to further my education and to study psychology ... you were always there for your many friends and for the people of Jackson County who needed you so very much. Now you are dancing in the stars and riding through the galaxy followed by numerous dogs and cats and even a fox or two. RIP dear Jean and light up the sky with your sweet soul.

Sending condolences to Jean's family. I so enjoyed working with, and getting to know her during her time at Webster Enterprises. She was such a warm, caring and loving individual with a huge heart. She was a genuine individual that cared deeply for the people she worked with. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Jean will always have a spot in my heart. She helped my daughter out in so many ways, from school to helping with her animals to just giving inspirational advice. I never saw her without a smile. Was a honor to know Ms. Jean and a joy to work with her. She will be missed but never forgotten!
