Throughout Granny Jean’s life, she has always been a positive and encouraging person to those around her. She never complained and her words were always soft and kind. She loved sitting on the porch swinging, talking to Mick & Linda, she would sit and watch Ernie mow, she loved watching the birds, she enjoyed shopping trips and spa days with Lisa, Kyra and Tiffany, every chance she had. She loved getting to spend time with Eli, Blair, Garrett, and Hayden. And she rarely missed anything any of them did! She loved getting to visit with Pauline! She worked most of her life at the shirt factory, but worked hardest at home taking care of her family. She enjoyed cooking supper every night, she cooked we came…. I’m sure she wanted to cook but I believe now she did it for the time to spend with us. She made the best apple pies, the best no bake cookies and her pasta salad could not be beat! But later in life we found out her secret ingredient to those dishes was LOVE! She had the most contagious smile of anyone on the face of the earth! Everything she did was with love and although she is the most precious angel in heaven now our hearts are broken. We will never forget her and all the love she gave during her 90 years on earth! The life she lived is truly her testimony!
