The family moved to California in 1954, residing mainly in Canoga Park and later moving to Encino, then retiring in Ventura, CA for the last 25 years. Both Jean and Bob loved to travel and were fortunate to see many parts of the world. Following her husband's retirement and Jean's semi retirement from the kitchen, they dined out frequently and continued their travels.



Jean will be remembered for her love of family, a kind, warm and smiling person with time to listen to anyone, especially her grandchildren in spite of her own failing health. She was a fantastic wife and mother and her greatest joy in life was spending time with family and friends. Jean and Bob returned to Ohio almost every year in their retirement for several weeks.



A Memorial Mass will be held at their home parish, Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, 3175 Telegraph Rd., Ventura, CA 93003 on Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 10:00 AM.
