I worked with Jean at Abbott Labs. She was a dedicated employee and wonderful friend. We talked about flowers and plants and she gave me some to plant in my yard. She will always have a special place in my heart. You all are in my prayers. Nancy Harvey
Jean was such a sweet and charming Lady and always had a big smile for everyone. We worked with her for many years @ Abbott Labs and they sure got their money’s worth from her because she was such a hard working Lady! Our thoughts and Prayers go out to the Family and I know she will surely be missed by all. Randy & Diane Rivenbark
