I worked with Jean at GVDC for many years and she followed me to the Dawn of Hope to start their residential program. Jean was the most caring, loving person and will be missed dearly. Prayers to her family.

Jean was such a wonderful woman. She was one of the first direct support staff we hired when moving folks from Greene Valley to Dawn of Hope. Jean was always so calm, cool and together when it came to the service recipients - but boy she could turn on a dime if a co-worker did something not up to Jean's standards. She spent several years in employment and was always one you could depend on when needed. She will be missed greatly.

I will miss our talks and I will always treasure all the advice you gave me along the way, even if I didn't like it at the time. You were never one to hold anything back just like Mamaw. I will miss the special times that we shared in Florida. You will truly be missed by us all. I wish we could be there. Our thoughts and prayers to our family!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
May The Lord comfort you during this time.
I am so sorry to hear thar Jean has passed away! I am so glad
you had the reunion - that is the last time I got to be with her. I

tremendously but I know she is in heaven. Jean was a special
person.
