She is survived by her children, Laura Johnson, Susan Crane, Stephen Crane and his wife, Teresa along with grandchildren, Emily Johnson, Justin Crane, Ashley Crane, Marisa Crane and six great-grandchildren.

Jean was fortunate to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2024 with a wonderful party attended by her children and many nieces and nephews. 

Jean was a proud graduate of Bucknell University and spent her professional career as a social worker.  Jean enjoyed traveling, reading, and spending time with family.  She was a talented artist painting landscapes and portraits of her grandchildren.  Her recent years were spent living at Crosslands Community where she made many dear friends and was well cared for by the staff.  She was loved by her family and the workers at Crosslands and will be missed.
