Jocelyn “Jo” Shearouse McLean Shaw, age 90, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011.

She was the wife of the late Paul F. McLean and B. F. Shaw; beloved mother of

Kendall McLean, and Kate McLean and the late Michael McLean and great-
grandmother of John and Andrew Davis, Carter and Nate McLean.

A native of Bainbridge, Ga., she married Paul in 1946 and moved to New Orleans, 
and later to Slidell, where she spent many happy years.

Jo graduated from Emory University in 1942 as a registered nurse. She proudly
