Jean was devoted to her family. She took care of her mother, delighted in her boys’ accomplishments, and her grandchildren were her passion.

She especially enjoyed the family trips to the Black Hills, watching golf tournaments and spending quality time with her friends.

She was a member of a bible study group that she referred to the other members as her three sisters.

Jean is survived by her husband Tom, of 42 years; her two sons and their spouses: Chad (Sarah) Potts with grandchildren Ashlyn and Leighton and Chase (Mindy) Potts with grandchildren Aubrey and Skylar, all of Norfolk; 3 brothers, 1 sister and nieces and nephews.
