Jean was a long-time member of Young Harris Memorial United Methodist Church. She devoted herself to helping others, including Our Daily Bread and the Athens Area Homeless Shelter. She served as a volunteer at St. Mary's Hospital, and was a member of the Brit Club, a group of ladies of British ancestry.
She is survived by her husband, Roy, of 51 years, and many Scottish relatives, including her sister-in-law, Cath McNeil, niece, Diane McNeil, and nephews, Craig McNeil, Iain Hunter, Neil Hunter, her aunt Joan Fairbairn and her children Richard, Scott, and Seonaid Wilson, Jean's God-daughter.
A Memorial Service will be held at Young Harris UMC, 973 Prince Ave., at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Young Harris in Jean's memory.
