So, so sad to hear of Eleanor Jean’s passing. She was such a beautiful lady and had a heart of gold. I have such fond memories of her as he was my Mom’s (Sharon Booth Jones) best friend. I remember the two of them giggling like teenagers when they would chat about high school days. in 1998, my Mom got cancer and was given a short six weeks to live. Eleanor Jean visited her every single day without fail. I will never forget that. Prayers to her family that she loved dearly. Thank you for always being positive no matter the situation. I feel honored to have known her. God Bless and rest in peace.
Sympathy to the family. Dorris and I visited her six years ago. Had a good visit. We have known her since we were all kids especially in 4-H Club and camp. Loved the whole family.

Dave and family, my mom and I send our condolences. We thought about calling Jean on her birthday this year but just saw the obituary. We are sorry for your loss. We have good memories of Jean and your family and Jean’s Poppy Seed cake.
