Jean helped Jack with hair and makeup at the funeral home. She owned 'Jean's McVille Inn' for a bit, and worked in data processing for Anheuser Busch and finally Pearson Education. Her passions were taking vacations with her family, spending time with her grandchildren, and in shopping for shoes and clothes. She loved watching golf, especially Tiger, playing Euchre, and time with her poodle, Toby. As long as she was able, Jean made it back for her high school reunion to reminisce with friends. She was preceded in death by her husband; father; and brother, Larry Davidson. Memorials in Jean's memory may be directed to Mechanicsville Fire and Ambulance.
