Not only did she raise 3 young daughters on her own, but she loved being Nana to her 3 granddaughters and her first great-granddaughter. Jean was a proud Elder of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. She was an avid knitter, and her family will forever cherish the sweaters, socks, afghans, hats, scarves, and mittens she lovingly made each year. Jean loved watching football and was so proud when her Wolverines won! She served on the board of the Genesee District Library for several years and always loved a good book. Jean was also a long time member of the Flushing Book Club. She took great pride in being president of the club for many years and valued the friendships she made.
