A devoted homemaker who loved her family and beautiful flower garden, and was excellent at games like ping pong and cornhole. Jean enjoyed spending 62 years at her home in Mt. Cory. She had a love for athletic competition and enjoyed watching her sons' Cory Rawson High School sports teams and Ohio State football and basketball. She was a member of Gospel Fellowship Church in Rawson and knew Christ as her Savior. We would like to thank Courtney, the hospice nurse, for loving care.
