Jean served our country in the US Navy during WWII.

Jean was ahead of her time and became the first female manager at the Dayco Corporation in the 1960’s, something that was relatively unheard of for those times. She was loved by all her family and will be terribly missed! She was a member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Saint Marys.
