Jean Elinor MacLean

Jean E. MacLean, age 89, passed away October 5th at home. Born on June 24, 1926, to Edna Hayes Reed and James Clyde Reed, she was raised in Wellsville, Ohio. Jean was a wonderful homemaker for most of her life, working for a short time at the former Farm Bureau and later at Belair's Fine Furniture. She loved to knit, do needlework, and was a voracious reader. Family gatherings, with all of her children and grandchildren, made her the happiest.

Jean is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Jack; brothers, Joseph Clark Reed, Robert Hayes Reed, George Wesley Reed and sisters, Ethel Frances Caruso and Mary Jane Sutton. She will be missed by her children, Mary-Jo (Dennis) Maughan, Jon R. (Frances) MacLean, and Melanie (Robert) Gigliotti. She was a fun-loving and wonderful grandmother to 10 grandchildren, Marianne MacLean, Elizabeth (Seth) Hanft, David (Erin) MacLean, Michael MacLean, Grace MacLean, Gloria MacLean, Chris and Kelly Maughan, and Geoffrey and Maria Gigliotti; and one great-grandchild, Abigail MacLean. All were the light of her life. The family would like to thank Dr. Terrance Castor for his wonderful and attentive care for 35 years, as well as her loving neighbors, Bob and Dolores Surtman.
