Born February 20, 1923 in Cleveland, Ohio, she was one of three children born to parents Alfred J. and Sarah (nee. Marshall) Lewis. Raised in Detroit, Jean attended Mackenzie High.
Jean raised her family in Livonia where Jean continued to live after the death of her husband in 1951.
Second only to her family and friends, her career with Livonia Public Schools was the center of Jean's life. She served the district for over 25 years, most notably as secretary at Grant Elementary School, and cherished the friends she made there.
Of particular significance to Jean was her membership at Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, Detroit. She was a committed lifetime member of the Mother Church.
