I have had the privilege of knowing Jean since my childhood and have always been inspired by her ambition and energy.  At whatever life-stage I was in, Jean was always interested in what I was doing and encouraged me to think about new and exciting possibilities.  She would use skillful inquiry to engage in stimulating and interesting conversations which led to thinking about new journeys.  She was a great role model- juggling a career, community service, parenting and homemaking, not to mention standing beside her lifetime soulmate, Marlyn, in every arena.  

Most every reference to Jean included Marlyn and vice versa. I have appreciated their progressive thinking in all areas of their life.  They welcome all into their home and are quite the tour guides.  There has always been candy in the candy dish, something wonderful cooking on the stove, a time for “happy hour”,  all with a touch of class and fun, and with underlying humility. 

One of my favorite memories is when I returned to the Best Western in Sayre, PA after a job interview with Guthrie Healthcare, in February of 2000, to find Marlyn and Jean having a cocktail in the restaurant.  They surprised me by driving up to support me.  I did get the job which led to 4 glorious years living in Athens, PA (Northern Tier) and many visits to see Marlyn and Jean.  They were always welcoming.    

I will miss Jean’s energetic greeting when I call, “Jaaaaane”, her energy, her laugh and the many special things about her.   

My sincere condolences to family and friends.

Jean was such an exceptional woman with so many interests and passions—a joy to be around. My mom and I were lucky enough to spend many Christmas Days with Jean, Marlyn and the Cieri family. We always loved hearing about Jean and Marlyn’s travels and activities.  Jean will be missed by all who knew her and admired her generous spirit, her lively sense of humor, and her love for family and friends.

Growing up with the entire Gohn family was a gift I will always cherish.  From holiday gatherings, to doughnut day and Chinese New Year celebrations,  my family experienced good food, numerous jokes, lots of love, laughter, and games.  Jean was always up for an adventure-from rollerblading to 4-wheeling, to swimming challenges at the Millardsville quarry. She brought life to every party and her absence will leave a big hole in our hearts.  

Here’s to Jean and a life we’ll lived!  We miss you!

Jean was always kind and caring. A wonderful mom to one of my best friends in high school, her daughter Amy. Much love to the family. 💕
