Jean worked at the same company for 25 years as a typesetter amongst various other jobs to support her family. She had many hobbies and activities including being a Girl Scout leader, cake decorating, a member of a garden club and decorative painting where she took pride in being on the board of the Gateway Decorative Artist Society where she made many close friends. She was on bowling leagues for many years and she loved to be in social settings. She loved to laugh with her family and friends and she always put others before herself.

To: Dear Dave, Laurie & Cheri,
Jean was such a beautiful mother, kind & talented person whom I always enjoyed being with. I will truly miss her, but I know she is in such a wonderful & beautiful place “HEAVEN” & no more suffering. More than anything I know Jean was so proud to have her 3 children & her sister Margie taking care of her at her home till the end.
We’ll see you sometime soon Jean. Tell Charlie hello for me.
Love Ya, Pat
Dave, Tammy, Courtney and Blake ~
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I will pray that you will find peace knowing you have great memories that will live in your memory and hearts forever. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. I love you all very much!
Jean was one of the nicest neighbors. I knew her for over 40 years. She was always so kind to everyone.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. Sweeter person never was. Miss her in our chapter meetings and painting with her. We go way back in painters time.
Jean was one of the most independent, humble, sweet, and caring women I have ever known. I am so glad I was able to share my thoughts about this to her. She was and still is, in spirit, loved by her family and friends dearly. Her children, sisters, and Ron helped her wishes come true. She was able to come home in peace with them to the end of her bodily life. She is now out of pain and at peace with her Heavenly Father and Heavenly Family. Jean you raised three awesome children and have nine wonderful grandchildren. You will be loved forever.
I will love you forever,
Shelly
Jim and I send our deepest sympathy, thinking of you all and wishing your family the strength and comfort in the days ahead. Jean was a dear friend for many years and I will miss her sweet smile and her caring ways. She was a very humble person and as someone else said,she always put others before herself. I am sure of one thing that she is with our Lord and Savior. And if I know Jean, and I did know her well, she is painting beautiful clouds once again.
May you all find comfort in the knowledge that many are feeling the loss of Jean in their lives. Jean was a dedicated member of Gateway Decorative Artists, she served on the board many years as Secretary. Besides that, she was always willing to help out wherever needed. She enjoyed socializing with her painting friends and loved painting projects with them. She also was an avid Memory Box painter, again, always thinking of others and how could she help to ease the parents pain of losing a baby. I am sure she is enjoying the company of our birthday club friends that have gone on before her, Louise and Julia. Keep memories of her forever in your heart and she will never be far from you.
I met Jean through the Maryland Heights Garden Club many years ago. Jean was such a sweet woman of many talents. Humble, thoughtful and caring. She will be truly missed.
A beautiful friend that I will truly miss. Jean and I have been friends for over 30 years. She was a sweet special person. I will miss my Painting friend. Prayers for all her family.
I met Jean 6 years ago at the MH Garden Club. She was a lovely lady and will be greatly missed!
I met Jean through the Maryland Heights Garden Club. Jean was the most thoughtful, soft spoken person – she was always so kind to everyone. She was so talented, not only in her gardening, but her beautiful paintings. She was always so willing to help others. We had many craft events through the Garden Club, and Jean would give us tips, or show us her painting techniques as we painted garden-related crafts. Jean, we will never forget you, and we know now that you are at peace with your loved ones that have passed, and placed in the hands of God. My deepest thoughts, prayers and sympathy to Jeans family, and to all that loved Jean so much. I pray that the memories you have of Jean will comfort you.
I am sorry for your loss. Don’t hesitate to let me know how I can help.
Jean was a special person and will be missed dearly.
Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.
Sending you all our love,
Mark and Myra Rabenort

To Jean’s Family and Friends,
