She was Sister-in-Law, Aunt, and Great-Aunt to many, many more loved ones…

Known as Jean, Mummy Frodo or Granny Jean to many, this feisty, courageous, hardworking woman lived and died polishing, molding, and shaping those she loved. Both blood and found family were graced with her signature brand of love, wit, advice, and wisdom. Her life was filled with trials, tribulations, opportunities, triumphs, and blessings. Not once did she concede defeat, proclaiming that God had the final word. She valued and displayed integrity, hard work, and faith. She tolerated no malarkey from anyone, and at a whopping 4' barely 11" at her death, her displeasure could still illicit dread from full grown men!

As she often said that God would make a way where there was none, she resembled that remark with her Jesus honoring life.  Family suggests donations in her honor should be made to your local animal shelter or branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.  Family and friends are asked to meet at Fellowship City Church - Chagrin Campus, 16391 Chillicothe Road, Chagrin Falls, OH 44023 on SATURDAY, JANUARY 6 , for a Memorial Service at 2:00 PM.
