Nanny, Papa and I
Jose and I are so sorry for Anna, Gary and the family. I know they will miss Jean so much and so will we. She was too cute and so peppy. Her smile was warm and gracious. As soon as we walked into church, there she was. Dressed perfectly with her beautiful white hair and pretty nails. But oh how glorious she must be now, resting in peace. As a Disciple of Christ, she is assured of her salvation. We are inspired by her life and will truly miss her.
She was a joy and had the most beautiful smile, every time I saw her in the fellowship she brighten my spirit. She was a beautiful soul & I will really miss her.
Mom West Rest In Peace! We always love you! Alexandra, Nicoleta and Tiberius Maghear
A Great Lady. Knew her for 40 years. Met her thru a friend, then she was our apartment caretaker. Her and her husband were wonderful. My children even called them Puppa and Ms. Jean. Very giving couple. My she rest in peace with her husband forever.
She was the best grandma I’ve ever had. She was amazing and my number one Nanny. You were everything to me. I wouldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for you or papa. I love you so much ♥️♥️♥️
My deepest condolences to all. I am so thankful I got to meet her. A very sweet, special woman. She will be missed.
When I think of Ms. Jean, my mind’s eye blesses me with an image of her sweet smile, kind eyes and gentle voice. I will hold fond memories of Ms. Jean in my heart until we meet again …
