For a time, she operated a wool cleaning and carding business out of her home. Jean worked glass beads, wove reed baskets and quilted. She enjoyed music, the arts and animals. She had volunteered for the Lehigh Valley Blues Network and remained an avid supporter of Godfrey Daniels music listening room and the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks.

Jean was a generous neighbor and friend, always willing to listen and freely share her time and advice.
