Jean Ann had the gentle and creative soul of an artist and was a member of the Federated Flower Art Club. She was a talented painter, and her works were showcased around the area. She loved birds and flowers, and created award-winning floral designs and beautiful gardens around her beloved home in the trees by the river. Jean Ann loved Christmas year-round, and rarely passed a Christmas shop without a trip inside. Jean Ann loved her family above all. She was a loving and devoted wife, friend, and partner to her husband, and a mother who gave her heart to her children, leaving them her legacy of love. She built fairy houses with her granddaughters, constructed Play-Doh machines with her grandsons, and enjoyed snuggling on the couch with all of them to read "The Night Before Christmas".
