In the 60s, she moved to the Columbus area and became a bookkeeper for Newark Hospital. She retired as a Payroll Supervisor with Columbus Public Schools.

Jean lived her life to the fullest. She was a world traveler and went on many adventures with her very best friends. She went on two African Safaris and explored many countries in Europe. Jean loved animals, especially the big cats. She glowed when she got her picture taken holding a lion cub. She also loved watching sports, especially the Steelers, The Ohio State University Buckeyes and the Dodgers. Jean loved cooking and baking. Thanksgiving was one of her favorite holidays where you could eat her famous pizzelles and pumpkin rolls.
