I was so sorry to hear about Jean’s passing.   My family and I joined Chamblee First United Methodist Church in 1979, where Jean was a member.  I met her niece, Anita Payne Smith, when we were freshmen at Emory at Oxford in the fall of 1964.  I was a bridesmaid in Anita’s wedding.  One night at church Wednesday night supper, many years ago, Jean reminded me that she had given a luncheon when Anita married - and I had been invited!  I did not remember that, but she was gracious to share it with me.  I’ll always remember her sweet, smiling face at church, and how kind and gracious she was to me and my family.  If I still lived in Dunwoody, I would attend the service Friday.  My thoughts and prayers are with Tim and all the family.  

Aunt Jean was a family member I was able to spend a lot of time with in my early years, so she influenced my ideas about what it means to be a good mother as I watched her mother her three boys, my younger cousins, Tim, Robert, and Mike.   She also took care of me to help my mom, her sister-in-law.  Jean has always been in my life as a support —making baby blankets for all of us cousins as we had our children, attending important family celebrations, sending cards, giving you her approval in her kind and gentle way.  She was a giving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and a true lady in every way.  So grateful for her life.  My deepest sympathy to Mike and Tim, Betty, and all her beloved grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. 

Always a smile on her face and a wonderful greeting to us as we grew up. Aunt Jean was always a supporter of her family and what great times we had at all holidays at Nanny’s and Daddy Carl’s. A blessing to us that she is now at rest. I sincerely hope all are at peace with her passing and looking forward to celebrating her legacy as one fine person. Forever grateful for her part in raising me. Denny Hyde
