She and Milburn were married, August 22, 1953. Jean loved being a wife and a mother. As a homemaker, she loved to cook-her delicious chicken and noodles were a household favorite. Her garden flourished with beautiful flowers and fresh vegetables; notably, tomatoes and green beans, to which Jean would get busy canning. In a quiet moment she would sit and crochet intricate and beautiful doilies for friends and family. Jean was very family oriented; they were her greatest gifts and passion. She was a member of the West Bridge Church family, and loved to go for walks and talks with her friends. Jean will be dearly missed by so many, for all of the love she shared.

Jean is survived by her daughter, Jan (Kevin) McGuffey of Noblesville; 3 grandchildren, Stephanie (Damon) Nelson, Brad (Brianna) Jones, and Lauren (Scott) Thomas; 8 great grandchildren, and many extended family members.
