Jean is survived by her loving nieces and nephews from Massachusetts, family from Pearl River, Louisiana, and a host of longtime friends, including her close friend, Doug Brown.

Jean was a standout employee working at American National Insurance Company for 50 years. She began work there at the age of 18 years and retired in 1997. She was also a Red Cross volunteer.
