Jean O. Patten

Jean Patten was born on September 13, 1919 in Comanche Oklahoma; she passed away on July 3rd. She was second oldest of four sisters. Jean was always fond of animals, flowers and nature and she enjoyed being outdoors. Her father worked in the oil fields of Oklahoma and the family traveled a great deal while Jean was growing up. She was the salutatorian at her high school in Comanche Oklahoma where she had many friends. As a young woman she moved to California where she worked as a civil servant before moving to San Antonio where she met her future husband Edward C. Patten. Edward was a Lieutenant Colonel in U.S. Air Force. Jean and Edward enjoyed traveling internationally. During their extensive travels Jean enjoyed collecting many treasures that later adorned their home.

Jean was a member of Bethany Methodist Church and kept a loving and attentive eye on her close neighbors. She was never shy about expressing her feelings and was a warm and honest friend and good neighbor. She expressed her love of animals by being a devoted provider of bird seed for her winged friends and cat food for the local felines fortunate enough to find their way to her back door. Jean was a long-time, loyal member of Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation in Kendalia, Texas.

Jean Patten is survived by her two sisters, Gladys Dennis of Georgia and Lois Baker of San Antonio.
