So sorry to see this about Aunt Jean…I’ve always called her that since knowing her through her visits to the Hillsdale Fitches. I enjoyed seeing her ocassionally while working for the State and even visited her on Marsh Rd. when she was living there. She was always pleasant and a good conversationalist. My condolences to all.

I worked with Jean when I was just starting out at Treasury. I remember her as intelligent, kind, helpful, and cheerful. She always had a smile for everyone. Always a bright spot in my day when I’d had a conversation with Jean! So very sorry for your loss.

Sending my heartfelt sympathy to all who was lucky enough to know Jean. I have been seeing Jean on Sundays for the past three years. I started working for her to help out with odds and ends, do her shopping, and we became fast friends. I always looked forward to our time on Sundays and enjoyed our visits. I will always remember her chipper spirit, contagious laugh, sweet tooth, and good conversation. So very sorry for your loss.
