Jean, or as many like to call her, Mama Jean, was a well known legend in Maud! She cared for everyone like family. Jean loved children! Along for caring for her own, she cared for 17 children in the area. Mama Jean was a sports fan, she particularly enjoyed baseball. She loved to watch the Rangers and during Maud Cardinal games you likely heard her yell, “Send him to the Shed!”. Many enjoyed visiting Jean at the bank in Maud. She stayed busy quilting, baking, and gardening. Even in her later years she enjoyed the outside by watching the hummingbirds flutter outside her window. Jean loved to make gifts to share with her loved ones. She was a caring woman who will be missed by so many who were touched by her kindness!

Graveside Servies will be held at 11:00 A.M., Wednesday, March 15, 2023 in Center Ridge Cemetery, Maud, Texas. There is no set visitation. Local arrangements are under the direction of Bates Rolf Funeral Home, New Boston, Texas.
