Jean graduated from Appleton High School, attended nursing school and worked a variety of jobs before having children. She married Robert W.

Jean was a faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church and a member of the National Catholic Society of Forresters, Appleton Homemakers Club and Catholic War Veterans Auxiliary.

These past few months could be summed up as Remarkable given all of the challenges she faced and never once complained, always keeping a positive outlook on things.
She will be greatly missed by her daughters: Mary (Allan) Schommer-Loney, Navarino and Elizabeth (Kurt) Andrews, Hortonville. She is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews and many dear friends.
