Jean joined Bibleway Apostolic Household of Faith in 1970. She was baptized in the name of Jesus and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in 1971. Since then she was on fire for the Lord!

In August 2017 she joined New Life House of Faith under the leadership of Pastor Jermaine McCallum. She loved

to worship the Lord in song and praise.

Her greatest joys were spending quality time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her charismatic personality left a lasting impression with signature actions and expressions on us all. Knowing she will have the camcorder ready to capture all memories and moments, to last us a lifetime brought comfort to all.
