So sorry to hear of Jeans passing. I have fond memories of her from our high school days. It was nice to reconnect with her at our reunion.

I am extremely saddened to hear of Jeans passing. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to reconnect with her through our gatherings at the beer garden. We attended school together at Johnson Elementary, Starbuck Junior High and Case. Gods blessings to her family. She will be missed.

Jean was such a warm and friendly classmate. Though graduation took us in different directions, re-connecting with her on the committee to plan our 50th + 1 reunion was a gift. She was such a beautiful example of dignity in her battle against the cancer that took her life. Gratefully, she's at peace now and I know she'll be watching the rest of us, to make sure we carry on her dedication to our class. God Bless you my firend and Rest in Peace.

Agree with the others. I don't remember knowing Jean very well as students but I got to know her on our reunion committee and enjoyed working with her.

I recall having her in One of my classes, but I don't remember which one but I do remember her being very nice

Jean was in my English class, I think with Mr. Leuke. She was always very nice I thought.

Heart felt sadness to Jim and the rest of Jean's family and friends. I have fond memories of Jean as we somehow managed to be in quite a few classes together over the years. We didn't really hang with the same crowd but she always had a kind word or a smile to share. Reconnecting after I moved back to Caledonia and attended the reunion and many beer garden events, she always made me feel a strong kinship as a fellow high school classmate. I will truly miss her.
