Jean was born to Jorney and Vergie Breeden on June 12th, 1941. She attended Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. She had the “love of her life” with Kermit “Hal” Blevins for over 34 years.
She worked at the Pentagon for 50 years loving what she did with the Air Force team. She received numerous outstanding civilian awards.
She loved her crafts; knitting, crocheting and just being the “crafty” person, she was. She loved her dogs.
