Our dear Mother, Jean James of Athens, Texas has left this life to join her Heavenly Father, and those that have gone before her. She has left life as she has known it for 91 years, and now abides in the Heavenly Realm.
Born Emma Jean Brown, September 7, 1925 in Munday, Texas to Emma and Oscar Brown. She is survived by two daughters and husbands, Lanna and Paul Primm and Marsha and Jim Shelton.
Jean had four grandchildren and families; Monty and Rosemary Wynn, sons Aiden and Owen, Emily and Brent Adkisson, son Samuel. Matt and Beth Shelton, children Zachary Jackson, Chelsea and Maggie Shelton, Meg Lapeyrouse, and Wyatt Shelton. Also, granddaughter Alexa and Ryan McAnally, Macy, Garrett, Kate and Georgia McAnally.
Emma Jean Brown and Gerald C. James married on June 20, 1944 and began their long life together. They were married for 62 years until Daddy's death in 2006. These were happy years.
Mother was busy raising her family, and it took awhile, but eventually she received her teaching degree. She began a long career of teaching English in all grade levels. In the 80's, she retired after teaching 30 plus years. In all those years she touched the lives of literally thousands of young people. This was not only with her teaching English, but also the lessons of life. She always had an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and a heart to care.
Mother was an avid letter writer. Throughout her life she had countless pen pals. To our knowledge, she never met one of them in person.
Mother was pre-deceased by her only sibling, a brother, Buddy Brown. They had great times together; laughing and telling stories of growing up with sharecropper parents. Their parents moved here and there, and living mostly on love. Buddy's wife, Virginia, and two daughters Charla Hendrix and Roxanne Holly have been an ongoing source of love and devotion to Mother.
There are other relatives she leaves behind; cousins, nieces, nephews that are too many to name here, but treasures to her, each of them.
For the past four years, our Mother was in the home of and under the care of Melba Edwards and her brother Bob Henry. We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation and love for these angels that caled for her as if she was their own. May God richly bless you.
