Jean attended Marymount College in Manhattan. Upon graduation from school Jean took a job with US Rubber working on math problems for the firm. She was always very proud of her efforts there and spoke of it often and her ability to solve problems.

She married the love of her life Paul, they traveled the world having Marianne in Wichita, KS, Paul Jr in Kaiserslauten, Germany and then back to New York for the birth of Kevin.

Jean enjoyed designing and sewing dresses and other items. She eventually started her own small business designing wedding, bridesmaids, and other dresses. She did quite a few weddings and was well regarded for her work.

At one point, Mother Superior Magellan, the President of Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia at the time asked if she would assist with some of their fashion design school classes as her mother did in NYC. Jean turned down the offer due to her work load with her wedding dress business.

Unfortunately, Jean, late in life, fell victim to the terrible disease of dementia. Paul and Kevin moved her to North Carolina so that she could be cared for in safety and comfort.
