Jean worked at WestPoint Pepperell in Abbeville, Alabama for more than forty years before retiring. During that time, she also baked and sold many delicious cakes. Her pound cake was a favorite choice for many. She and Roy planted a vegetable garden for many years, so she could provide vegetables for her family. Her children and grandchildren looked forward to the many Sunday dinners she would make, which always included something that was a favorite of each one. Her hobbies included raising beautiful flowers, making beautiful quilts, puzzles and word games and watching sports. She was a fan of Auburn, Alabama and Georgia to support her grandchildren. She loved watching the Atlanta Braves.
