Her last 25 years were in the classroom at Oakman Elementary, where she was a beloved first grade teacher.

An out-going, people loving person, Jean belonged to the Culture Quest Club and in fact was named one of Alabama's gracious ladies in 1954-55. She was later a member of the Oakman Dramatic Club.
