Jean was married for 65 years to her beloved husband, Stanley Ashley Jackson, who preceded her in death in 2018. She was also preceded in death by her parents and many loving brothers and sisters, all of whom she held dear.

Jean was a longtime and devoted member of Falling Water Baptist Church and the Gleaners Sunday School Class. Her faith was the foundation of her life and informed how she lived, served, and cared for others. Jean was known for her strong and outspoken spirit, balanced by kindness, care, and a deep love for her family and friends.
Jean graduated from Red Bank High School in 1952 and always enjoyed attending the class reunions. She also worked as a teacher's aide at Alpine Crest Elementary School.
In her later years, Jean resided at Dominion Senior Living in Hixson, where she was cared for with compassion and dignity. She was surrounded by those who showed her patience, kindness, and respect, and her family is deeply grateful for the care she received during that season of her life.
