Jean was raised in Troutville, VA, and graduated from Troutville High School. She was a graduate from Duke University. After graduation from Duke, she married and remained in Chapel Hill. Jean was the owner of a dress shop, The Little Shop, for many years. Jean and Charlie owned a home in Emerald Isle, NC, which they loved and enjoyed.

Jean moved to Falcon Ridge, on the lake, where she met her good friend, Mary Sexton. In later years, she moved to The Cedars; and eventually to the Dubose Health Center.


The family extends many thanks to her friends, and those who cared for her at the DuBose Health Center; and finally, AuthoraCare.
