Vera Jean Viehe

A lady that lover her Lord, her family, gardening and friends describes Jean Viehe. She was co-founder of The Tuesday Nighters Club and a member of the Shady Oaks Garden Club both of Austin, Texas. She was a long time member of the Koenig Lane Christian Church in Austin and later the Calvary United Methodist Church of Paris, Texas. Her church families were very dear to her heart.

If God has a garden that needs tending Jean will be in the middle of it.

From working in an airplane factory in Indiana during WWII to retiring from the IRS in Austin, Jean had quite a span of working experience.

Jean’s last years were at Pine Tree Ranch Assisted Living in Paris, Texas. The care and attention she received was second to none.
