Jean MacGregor Lacey was born to eternal life to live in the house

of the Lord on March 6, 2011. Her five-year ordeal with

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) has ended and she is now at

peace. Jean was born March 15, 1937, the daughter of Donald and

Mercy Central School of Nursing in 1957. Along with her nursing

classmates she worked at hospitals in Grand Rapids, Milwaukee,

San Francisco and Chicago.

She met her husband, Gerald Lacey (Jerry) in 1965 and they

married in 1967. Living in East Lansing, MI. they raised two

sons, Michael and Mark. She was very active as a mother,

homemaker, and role model throughout their lives and enjoyed

watching them grow into adults. Never content with the status quo

she went back to school, received an accounting degree from

Aquinas College, and became controller of Dale Computer until

retirement beckoned.

In 1996, she and Jerry moved to the Isle of Palms, SC. where they

enjoyed southern hospitality and walking on the beach. Having

been active in PEO in Lansing, Michigan Jean helped establish a

PEO chapter in Mt. Pleasant, SC. In 2005, they traded the beach

for the desert and moved to Green Valley, AZ. where Jean was

active in swimming and other social activities. Throughout her

retirement years, she enjoyed frequent visits and phone calls from
