Jean attended Guernsey Church of the Brethren in Monticello, Indiana for 50 years participating and serving on Women’s Fellowship, Church Council, and loved helping with the annual Ham & Bean Supper fundraiser. Family was always her focus however she did spend time working outside the home at the White County Courthouse, and as a secretary at Woodlawn Elementary School. In her later years she volunteered at the White County Food Pantry. She loved playing cards, Euchre being her favorite, and teaching her grandchildren and others all kinds of games. Sending greeting cards was also a passion. A simple service is being planned for a later date. She will rest at Pike Creek Cemetery in Monticello, Indiana united with husband Art Zehner.
