The family would like to thank the Munising Medilodge crew and the Harbourview Assisted Living staff.  The family is grateful and was comfortable with the care of their Mom.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something kind or volunteer your talents to help someone or someplace to make our community a better place.  If one wishes, memorials in Jean’s name are requested to be made to the Eden Lutheran Church or the Alger County Community that Cares.
