Jean was the daughter of Edward George and Ruth Maynard Pellow of Southington, Connecticut. She met her future husband, Richard Albert Homewood, when they were both patients at what was then the Underwood Tuberculosis Sanitarium in Meriden, Connecticut. They were married March 25, 1950 at the Southington First Baptist Church, and moved into a home that was newly built for them in Wolcott on a portion of property that had been in the Homewood family for many years. Although they had been told that due to their medical pasts it was unlikely they would be able to have children, Dick and Jean proceeded to disprove that medical theory, becoming the parents of three children: Kathryn (Kate) Jean Homewood, Linda Ellen Homewood D'Abramo and Richard (Rick) Albert Edward Homewood, and then the grandparents of Dana D'Abramo, Alexandria Michelle and Emily Anne Homewood. Jean was a long-time and much-valued library employee at the public library in Waterbury. Dick's death preceded Jean's by just a little more than a month, and they were interred in Wolcott's Edgewood Cemetery at the end of May, 2003.
