Preceded in death by her daughter Anita, parents Royal and Mayme Tipton, brothers Arnold Tipton and Charles Tipton, sisters Thelma Monaco, Evelyn Freeman, Helen King. Jean was a faithful member of Peck's Memorial UMC and served in many ways. She was a devoted wife and stay at home mother and created a wonderful home to raise her children.
