Jean was one of the nicest and most compassionate people I have known. She always wanted to help her co-workers even if it meant staying late or coming in on her off days. She was all about fairness and doing the right thing. I always enjoyed sitting down with her to talk about my family and hers. I know her family is extremely proud of this dear lady. I shall miss her!
