Condolences to all the family in this time of your loss. Back in the day we rode the same school bus to WHS with Kent and Craig, Sandy / Connie / Bonita Findling, Kay and Donnie Jones, the McKinney kids, Abbey Ericson and the Burkhardt kids, Toby, Fritz and Kathy. Lots of water under the Windfall bridge since those times. God bless!

Thank you Harvey for reaching out in Jean’s memory…My oh my what a group on that school bus! And, what wonderful memories you all are blessed with! I loved listening to Jean’s stories of Windfall!! She was quite a lady…

It seems to me that a fitting way to celebrate Jean’s life, her impact on the Windfall community, and her impact on Tipton County would be to light fireworks and hire a band to play some rousing tunes – and maybe throw a community-wide potluck where we could all join in sharing some of the fun times we had with her. I remember my dad talking about the time he went to get his driver’s license renewed and ran into Jean at the DMV renewing hers. She was 94 years old at the time. Once again, he was impressed by Jean and her tenacity. Another tale I heard not many years ago was that Jean’s mail lady brought her mail up to the front door for Jean rather than leaving it in her mailbox. I was touched by the respect shown to Jean by that act. I wonder, too, if there was a prize for the most Windfall High School Alumni Banquets attended by one person, would Jean have won it? I think probably so. God bless you, Jean, and your family, – forever and ever.
Thank you Judy! Jean would be the first to want to attend such an event in Windfall!!! She always had her shoes on and was ready to go!
She was a remarkable lady who lived a wonderful life… her determination to keep busy led her to 103 years of a life well lived…
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your heartfelt thoughts…
Kent, Craig and families
I’ve always loved you Jean. I was born on your birthday, and I was named Lory Jean. I always enjoyed spending time with you and Bob at your farm. You were a big part of my childhood, and I will never forget you.
Thank you Lory for your heartfelt thoughts….Jean always had the highest of regards for the bond that the two of you shared…
Thank you for sharing!

In memory of Jean, so many happy times at reunions and visiting with my Grandma Hazel. Loved family gatherings at Minnie and Rome’s home, as a child I though it was a grand house and fun times with family in the basement. Visiting Jean in her home and her gracious offering of homemade chocolate treats with us reminiscing over family photo albums.Even in the later years she remembered my grandchildren’s names and always asked about them. What a grand lady, always loving and kind..
Thank you Cindy for your kind words and wonderful memories… Jean always looked forward to and enjoyed your visits!!!
She was always interested in keeping up with and attending family events if at all possible!!! She loved making and sharing those chocolate treats!!! Thank you for taking the time to reach out
