Jean was born March 8, 1941, in Columbia, Mississippi. She worked for many years in retail where her considerate and kind spirit served her well. She retired from Hancock Fabrics where she was a favorite among customers. Jean truly enjoyed helping bridal parties select fabrics and embellishments and she was an expert with assisting new home owners choose draperies and textile appointments.
A gifted seamstress, Jean spent hours crafting beautiful clothing and home furnishings. From prom and bridesmaid gowns to everyday-wear, Jean welcomed the challenge of a new project, and her love for the intended recipient was evident in each stitch.
In her free time Jean enjoyed listening to music, particularly old classic country, and reading.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Mason Peavy; and grandson-in-law, Brian Tyler Wynn.
Survivors include son, Ben Peavy and wife Donna, and grandchildren, Mason and Sarah Peavy; daughter, Robin Jordan and husband Barry, granddaughter, Misty Wynn, great-grandchildren, Allyson and Amelya Wynn, grandson, David Jordan and wife Paula; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
Memorials may be made to the Grace Harvest Food Pantry at First Baptist Church of Richland or to the donor’s favorite charity.
