A woman of strong Christian faith, Jean was a faithful and dedicated member of Victory Free Will Baptist Church. She cherished worshiping alongside her family and church family, finding peace and encouragement through fellowship, prayer, and the Word of God. Her quiet faith and kind example were a testimony to her love for the Lord.
