Jean was a native Texan who spent much of her formative years on a remote Texas ranch. This environment spawned an inquisitive, lively imagination that was inherent in her artwork. She had a natural ability for drawing and cultivated that talent through travel, study, and practice, with the love of her life by her side.  She and Preston enjoyed a long life together watching their family blossom and grow, traveling to amazing places so she could paint, and creating beautiful works of art with her painting in her studio behind the house and him framing them in his shop in the garage.  They simply loved being together and it showed.  What a beautiful life.  While we mourn her loss, we are overwhelmed with gratitude that we had her as our matriarch and that she is together again with her sweet Preston and Lisa.

Services will follow visitation at 2:00 pm with Dr. Mike Zimmerman officiating. Interment will follow at Roselawn Memorial Park in Van Vleck. Pallbearers are Chase Hauser, Shaun Hauser, Andrew Medina, Scott Stange, Branden Weeks, and Greg Weeks.
