After Sam's death, she became secretary at Northridge and served under her beloved pastors: Paul Baskin, Billy Everett, Al Martin, and Jerry Don Cheshire, each of whom were special and unique blessings to Jean and her family.
In 2011 she moved to Florida to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Sandi & Larry Unkart. She found a new church home, Shepherd's Community Church, which she loved and they loved her.

May I live the rest of my life in such a way that people say the same about me as they've said to me about my mother: "She was such a lively person, so loving and kind - such a testimony to her Faith."
