This is where she lived until meeting her husband and true love Ed T. Jarman. They met years ago at a cafe while Ed was stationed in England serving in the US Air Force. Jean left her dental office job to marry Ed. After their two children were born it was time relocate back to USA. Jean leaving behind all her family and friends. Once in the U. S., Jean Joined the Military English wives Club while being a homemaker and raising two children. Jean loved the outdoors, from weekend family camping trips, to going fishing for the day. There were many moves while living the Military life, including being stationed back in England one more time. After 20 years of moving from base to base, the family retired in Bolivar. The next phase of Jeans life was living in the Country helping raise cows and calves. She was a huge animal lover and avid bird watcher/feeder. Jean knew all the different wild birds, when they would arrive and what to feed them. There are bird feeders and baths all over her yard. She had a lovely garden and many beautiful flower beds. There were several beloved pets over the years, dogs, cats and even some of the cows. Any animal lucky enough to come to Jean's house became one of the family. Now came grandkids and Jean's volunteer career at the CMH gift shop, for over 20 years. As much as Jean loved being a mother, being a grandma was even better and she was great at it. Kids to spoil and send home. She hosted all the holiday dinners and birthdays as cooking was another of her favorite things to do. "Shepherds Pie", "Toad N The Hole"and "Jam Tarts" Just a few of the family favorites. Jean always put family and friends first. She loved to help others and never meet a stranger. This served her well while working at the CMH gift shop. Everyone remembered the sweet little (five foot tall British woman of Fridays. Her British accent was always a hit everywhere she went. Another hobby for Jean was knitting. She knitted sweaters, hats, scarves and mittens. Her favorite was the tiny stocking caps for the newborns of family and friends and the CMH nursery.
