Jean was born February 6, 1941 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, to Stanley and

Jean was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, and moved to Michigan when she was an 
infant.  Growing up first in Warren and later in Center Line, Michigan, she was 
the oldest child; the remaining four siblings were all boys.  Upon moving to 
Center Line, Jean lived a typical childhood for the 1950s.  While attending St. 
Clement Catholic grade school and high school, Jean was part of the Sodality of 
Mary, Teacher’s Club and Pep Club.  While in her junior year, Jean worked at 
Berke’s 5 & 10 on Van Dyke.  Upon graduation from St. Clement in 1959, Jean 
attended the University of Detroit for two years and a computer school downtown 
Detroit before starting work at the Bank of Commonwealth headquarters downtown 
Detroit.  In September 1961, Jean and Roger Laske were the first couple to be 
married in the new St. Clement Church in Center Line.   They started their 
family with the birth of the first child while living in the Kramer Homes Co-op 
in Center Line.   In 1963 they moved to Warren where their other two children 
were born:  Deborah in 1962, David in 1963 and Michelle in 1968.   In mid-1968, 
the family moved to Shelby Township, Michigan where the children were raised and 
spent their formative years graduating from Eisenhower High School.  Jean worked 
at various jobs over the years: Welcome Wagon, Tupperware Manager, Sales manager 
at J. C. Penny, Department manager at Jacobson’s in Rochester and at Entech as a 
contract employee at Chrysler.   Jean obtained her Associates Degree in Business 
from Oakland University.   After Roger’s retirement, Jean and Roger moved to a 
home on the lake in Lake Orion.
