She was born in Birmingham, Alabama, graduated from Tarrant High School and attended Jacksonville University, also in Alabama. Jean worked at Monsanto Company (Chemstrand) from 1958 until she retired in 1993. She was recognized as a top employee and won numerous awards for her work, including the “Ms. Chemstrand” title in 1961.
