Remembering this sweet lady and sending prayers for her family and friends as they grieve the loss of a very special lady.
I was fortunate to have worked with Jean at TCAT. She was a friend to all and a special sounding board / unofficial advisor to many students. I’m certain that her willing ear to listen and encouraging words offered greatly assisted those students in completing their studies.
She will be sorely missed by everyone who was honored in knowing her. May she Rest in Peace!
