Jean's pride and joy was being Hon aka Grandma. Why Hon? Tom used to call for Jean by yelling "Hon". As their first grandchild Jenna began to speak she mastered, mama, dada, papa and then Hon and it stuck. She became Hon to so many others.

Jeans greatest plesure in life was was the years with Tom, followed by her chidren and most of all spending time and talking about her grandchildren.

Last year, Jenna studied abroad in Rome and Jean was always so excited to see her posts and share Jenna's blog with all her friends. Being Italian, she loved seeing the places she missed and re-living her trip to Italy. She was the number one fan at every orchestra concert Jessica played always with a flower in hand in the front row.

She would go to sporting events with her pop up chair and sun canopy always wanting to be on the sidelines to watch her only grandson Cole play. She loved to spend time with her youngest grandchild Kayla, coloring, reading, playing make believe or watching her sports, Jean loved the special cuddle time with her little angel face.

Jean enjoyed the many camping trips in the RV and the miles she rode on the back of their Goldwing. For many years Jean loved going to Disneyland with her husband, children and grandchildren. She was the the cool HON with the Disneyland pass.

Jean loved the time spent with friends and family. She was a very generous woman. She would give you her last penny if you asked and unlimited time which is priceless.
