Since 1969, Jean lived in and around the New Orleans area and suburbs. She was 
a resident of Slidell, Louisiana, for the past 24 years. 
She enjoyed her many trips to Disney World, with her children and 
grandchildren. 
A stay at home Mom, she devoted her life to raising her family, until her 
separation and eventual divorce in 1992. At that time, she went to work for 
NFP. 
Eventually, she began to miss caring for people. So, she became a C.N.A., at 
Greenbriar Nursing Convalescent in Slidell. Her life long dream was to become 
an R.N. 
She worked and, attended nursing school until, she could no longer continue due 
her illness, in 2004. 
In recent years, one of her biggest joys was, being reunited with her childhood 
friend, Michelle Rishwain Bernard. 
A down to earth woman that loved to spend time with her family. 
She was greatly loved and will be even more greatly missed.
