Born on December 20, 1932, Jean graduated from Clinton High School, where she enjoyed playing in the band, the University of Tennessee, and graduate study at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  She served churches in Texas and Tennessee with her minister husband, and was a dedicated public school teacher for many years.  She loved being with family and friends, as those relationships, along with her faith, framed all she held dear.
