Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. today, June 5, 2002, in the chapel of Frank W. Wilson Funeral Directors with the Rev. Terry Wright officiating.

Jean was born in Sayre, Pa., to the late Lester and Florence Warner. Jean's calling professionally was to become a registered nurse, which she dutifully and diligently served for over 25 years. Jean was a member of the Nurse Cadet Corp. where she was stationed in Wickenburg, Ariz., when she met and married the love of her life, Dale Meece, April 2, 1950. During Jean's nursing career, she and Dale moved throughout the United States where Jean resumed duties at each stop along the journey. Jean's skills were widely varied, allowing her to care for patients ranging from infants to the elderly.

"Come to Me" God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put His arms around You and whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes We watched you suffer And saw you fade away Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay; A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best; It's lonesome here without you We miss you more each day Life doesn't seem the same Since you've gone away. When days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on" Each time we see your picture You seem to smile and say "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping We'll meet again someday." We love you Mom/Granny Arrangements under the direction of Gilbreath Funeral Home. Copyright © 1999-2002 Odessa American. All rights reserved.
