Condolences

  1. Jean was so kind and such a great lady and friendly for those who were her neighbors. Peace be to all her family now and as time passes.

  2. I met Jean about 10 years ago when our family joined the Whites for a weekend at the lake. She was so much fun and I remember her really enjoying all the kids as she took time to chat with each and every one of them. She was always such a pleasure to be around. After she moved to Howe I got to spend more time with her and grew to love her! She will surely be missed. Her fun loving attitude lives on in her daughter and granddaughters for sure! Rest in peace sweet “MiMi”!

  3. After not hearing from Jean for awhile, I decided to call her. The phone service was no longer available. My heart sunk. My deepest sympathy to her sister and daughter. I knew Jean through my sister Mary Ann. Our birthdays were one day apart. My heart aches for you. She was such a sweet, gentle lady. She wil be greatly missed. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord.
