The family wishes to extend a special recognition and thanks to her caregivers Diana Jones, Sharon Cartmill, Carla Scott, and Tara Glass for the excellent care given to Jean.
I attended church with Marvin and Jean at Refuge since 1993, when my father began preaching there. I am so sad to hear of this sweet lady’s passing. She was truly a precious person. The family has my deepest condolences.
With love,
Jane Wyatt-Dilley
