She worked as a travel consultant at the Marion County AAA Motor Club and in the x-ray department at Fairmont General Hospital. Jean was a member of the Quota Club. Her biggest enjoyment in life was spending time with her family. Jean loved being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and really enjoyed holiday gatherings, family gatherings, and going to Topsail Beach, NC.
