They belonged to the Bonita Springs Shell Club and Naples Shell Clubs. Jean and Walt could not wait to go to the beaches to collect seashells almost every day! Jean and Walt made shell flower arrangements and other art crafts with the shells. They entered many shell shows to complete with other shell crafters. They won numerous ribbons and special plaques and awards. Jean had a special talent and had her name on big trophies and special awards. Jean and Walt have many special memories and times spent together doing what they loved.

Most of all Jean's faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is how she would want to be remembered. Amen.
