Jean was born in Rose Township, Mich., on July 24, 1938, the second daughter of Russell and Larene Munger. She graduated from Ionia High School in 1956 and continued her studies at Lansing Business School. She worked for the State of Michigan before receiving her real estate license. She enjoyed a long and successful career in the Novi area before deciding to follow a dream: to buy a bakery in Colorado. Jean spent eight years in Colorado before returning to the Novi area to pick up her real estate career once more. She retired to Lowell in 2000. Jean made an impact everywhere she went and touched the lives of so many in her path. Her sparkling eyes, bright smile and infectious laugh lit up any room. She enjoyed traveling, weaving, knitting and gardening, but most of all, spending time with her family. Jean will be greatly missed by her dear friend and love, Frank Ruggiero; sisters Wanda (Bill) Shurlow and Betsy (Carl) Koehnlein; nieces and nephews Deb (John) Parsons, Scott (Amy) Shurlow, Cindy (Brad) Masse, Roz (Chad) Clemens, Carrie (Gerry) Koehnlein-Alden, Kelly (Jeff) Sandborn and Brian Opfer; eight great-nieces and nephews; many close friends and acquaintances. Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at Roth-Gerst Chapel, 305 N. Hudson, Lowell, with visitation 9:30 to 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to be made to the Franciscan Process Center, 11650 Downes St., Lowell, MI 49331.
