Jean and my mother, Johanna Potthast became friends when they worked together at the First National Bank of Chicago in the 1940's.  They remained friends until my mother's death in 2018.  We shared many holidays with Jean at my parents' home.  She shared many interesting stories about her travels in Europe and especially Denmark where her cousins lived. We will miss her smile and infectious laugh.

I know Jean from St. Timothy Church. We volunteered at VBS together and at the Uncle Charlie Program. She loved children and would enjoy striking up a conversation, sharing joy and laughter. When my family relocated in 1993 to Lakewood, IL, Jean and I kept in touch with cards and notes. She remembered us consistently through the years of holidays, graduations, and births. I was so pleased to get mail from her, and her fondest love was a comfort to me.
