Jean went on to Northern Michigan College and in 1956 graduated with a BS in Business Education. She returned to Rapid River where she met, fell in love with and married Jack, all within a three month courtship.

Mom, Grandma, Nana…you will always be in our hearts, until we meet again. We love you so much.
In accordance with Jean’s wishes, there will be no funeral services at this time. Instead the family will do a private scattering of ashes, but the family does appreciate your love and support during this difficult time.
