Jean was a wonderful homemaker and gardener. She delighted in beautiful plants and felt that one was truly nearest to God while in a garden.. Harold and Jean retired to Lake Livingston and it gave the great pleasure to furnish vegetables and fresh catfish to all of their friends and neighbors. Jean always carried a song in her heart and passed her of love music on to her children and grandchildren. She truly lived to serve God by serving others.
Until recent years, Jean was an active member of the Baptist Church in Houston, Livingston, and Henderson.
Many thanks go to the staff of Autumn Leaves Nursing and Rehab for their loving care of our Mother for 10 years.
