the country. They were part of the founding
members of the Mar-O-Nots Club, and enjoyed
monthly potlucks accompanied by cards and
board games. Jean was a stealthy card shark
who would quietly win with a small smile. She
was an avid reader, wanting nothing more than
a good book and a rocking chair. She also was
a talented canner of fruits and vegetables
grown on the farm and loved to bake Johnny
Cake in the antique oven in Wilbur’s shop.
Jean was born to be a teacher. She had
endless patience, a vast knowledge of many
things, with an incredibly kind and tender
spirit. Also a member of the Bernard

guide at the museum.
Her family would like to extend heartfelt
appreciation to Centrica Care Navigators and

her last months comfortable and peaceful.
