Jean dedicated her life to creating opportunities for ALL children to achieve their highest potential through play and thrive together. Jean worked as a Play Advocate for over three decades. During her career, she was a driving force behind Woodset, Boundless Playground and Pure Play Workshops. She also served on several safety boards, including National Program for Playground Safety and ASTM committee developing national playground safety standards. Jean was active in her local community, serving on the local Planning Commission and Appeals Board, and Rotary Club (LaPlata). Her highest joy was to serve in the children’s ministries. Most recently Jean was lovingly referred to as “The Story Lady” by the preschool children to whom she shared her faith . She loved to knit and crochet; she was constantly designing new patterns for everything from dishrags to doll clothes. She loved to camp, ride her motorcycle, read non-fiction, collect pottery, and spend time with her family – both relatives and “adopted” members. She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Memorial contributions may be made to the children’s charity of your choice.
