Jean Betzala Earley

Jean was born February 1, 1935 in Philadelphia PA to Michael and Anna (Petrash) Betzala. She was the baby of 15 children.

She moved to Orlando, met and married Robert Earley and became an Air Force wife. After being stationed at 4 USAF bases, which included Yokota Japan, they retired at McCoy AFB in Orlando with their 4 children. She was a loving, devoted and generous mother to her family. If she had it to give, it was given to you. Her faith in Jesus Christ carried her through every storm and valley to the top of her mountain. She worked at Sonitrol, SunBank and Walmart. She loved to travel and craft. She was happiest with a sewing needle or crochet hook.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Anna, her brothers and sisters, her son James Charles Earley and her ex-husband Robert Earley.

She is survived by her daughter Gwenda (Chris) Harder, her sons Robert (Lynn) Earley and Wayne (Grace) Earley; Her grandchildren, Teri (Joe) Heinlen, Joseph Dillon (Holly) Legacy, Ariel Earley and Matthew Harder as well as great grandson, Zyaire Earley, nieces and nephews.

Services will be held Thursday April 14 with visitation from 10 AM-NOON and a graveside service at 1:00 PM - Baldwin Fairchild at Chapel Hill Cemetery, 2420 Harrell Road, Orlando Florida.

She had a deep love for the Jewish people and as the Bible commanded, "prayed for the peace of Jerusalem". In lieu of flowers, a donation to C4I would be appreciated.
