She enjoyed coffee dates with her neighbor friends in Forest Hill for many years as well as board games, dominoes, marbles and holidays. Jean and J.T. were passionate about their church, First Church of the Nazarene, and they gave tirelessly with their presence, hard labor, tithing and donations, gifts, support and event planning and coordinating. They loved their church and fellow members.
Jean was a resident of Burleson and a bingo fan, along with her many friends at Heritage Place. She enjoyed music and movies with her friends at Heritage Place.
