What a wonderful woman! I met Jean at the Bethany Booktalks where we shared our love of reading. Whenever we went to The Isles for lunch the staff always knew what brand of beer she wanted.

I always enjoyed talking with Jean; she was so well read and well traveled. Her mind was sharp as a tack even though she was 92 years old. We will miss you Aunt Jean! And in taking the eternal view of things, believe we’ll see you again.

– Carla Snyder
