Prayers for peace and comfort to Jean's family. She will be missed.

So very sorry for your loss! I worked with Jean for many years at DuPont. She was a great person. Condolences to the entire family

My sincere condolences to Jean’s family. We worked together in the early 80s at Louviers, and I’ll never forget that she once said she would remove her outlet covers and clean them! I knew she must have the cleanest house ever! She spoke very fondly of her girls back then and was so proud of their accomplishments. She would often share stories of their latest achievements. Thinking of you during this very sad time.

My sincere condolences to Jean’s family. She was a very sweet lady who I worked with years ago at DuPont. I remember she once told me she removed her outlet covers to clean them, and I thought how clean her house must be! She loved her family, talked about them all the time, along with boating, and was a very hard worker. Take care and rejoice in the memories with your mom. She was definitely a sweetie.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

She will be missed by many. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Jean was a true friend and I will never find another like her. She helped me so much when my husband passed and gave me comfort. I will miss her weekly phone calls. She was deeply loved.

We were fortunate to know Jean for the last 13 years due to the marriage of her daughter Jean to our son David. Shared many happy family times with them and a beautiful granddaughter Delaney. We will miss her, know she is now in no more pain and with her beloved husband Bill. Rest in peace Jean.

Jean was the kindest person I have ever met. We worked together for many years and had a lot of laughs and cries together. Her family was everything to her. She seemed to have a talent for everything cooking, sewing etc. I used to tease her about her cleaning. She probably has the cleanest house in the world. Jean, Kathi, Karen and I use to have the best lunches together we would laugh the whole time. I will really miss her. She is with her Bill.

My condolences and prayers to your family I worked with Jean in HR in Wilmington After retirement we meet every couple months for lunch with our co workers She will be missed

Jean and Bill became our boating neighbor and friends many year ago. Jean was always full of life and laughter. We shared many good times together that I cherish. No doubt Jean has reunited with Bill and are sailing into the sunset. Sincere condolences to her family, who she always spoke so highly of.

Jeanne and Bill were lovely warm and wonderful individuals. We all attended Mass together for many years in Chesapeake City at St. Rose of Lima. Jeanne, you are most gracious, thank you for always being so kind to everyone. You will be missed. Rest gently now in the hands of our loving Father. Be at Peace. Linda and Jim Dyekman

Our sympathies to the Ahern Family. The lunches and social situations we shared will be treasured. RIP dear Jean, until we meet again.

Sending you hugs and prayers.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
