Paul stepped in the position of a loving father graciously and happily, building them a large loving family of 5 which soon blossomed into a grand number of 24. Truly loving parents who always went above and beyond for their entire family and anyone who needed their help.

Jean spent many years standing on her feet working as a hairdresser at Veta’s Beauty Shop in Stroud. She loved visiting with her customers and made many lasting friendships. Jean treasured every moment of her time with her family and friends. Most of all she treasured spending all the precious time she could with her husband Paul. She cherished reading her bible in her devotion time each day, watching Christian shows on television, listening to Christian and blue grass music, shopping, decorating her home, and collecting angels. Before her health declined, she enjoyed cooking majestic meals for everyone. She valued family gatherings, getting to see and visit with everyone.
