Jean spent her life as a homemaker raising and caring for her family. She loved cooking and sewing and sharing these talents with those she loved. She was a charter and dedicated member of Ranch Acres Baptist Church in Tulsa.  Above all, she loved her family, her friends and her neighbors as herself, and will be greatly missed.
