She was born in Odell, attended Loretta one room school house and St. Paul's Catholic school in Odell. As an adult she resided in rural Dwight. Jean celebrated her 84th birthday on August 31st while surrounded by her family. She was thrilled and surprised by the party; the family celebrated with cake and Jean was able to hear the heartbeat of her soon to be great grandchild anticipated to be born to granddaughter Demi & Dustin Bayler . Surviving Jean are her 6 Children: James Tucker, Juanita (Jack) Noffsinger, Kirby (Pat) Krug, Carl Krug, Jackie (James) Eskins, and Kim Krug. Also surviving are Jean's grandchildren: Amy Noffsinger, Kelly (Josh) Osborne, Brandon (Robyn) Krug, Craig (Lizzie) Krug, Chelsey Stacy, Billie Kimmell, Kimberly Eskins, Demi (Dustin) Bayler, and Lyndey (Russell) Ferguson; her 11 Great Grandchildren: Jacquelyn & Sadie Messenbrink, Jasmine and Samantha Noffsinger, Keegan & Zoey Krug, Adellyn Krug, Rosie & Beau Krug, Hayden & Paisley Kimmell, & Baby Bayler. Waiting for Jean in Heaven are her parents, husband Earl, brother Richard, and her grandson Jeremy Noffsinger. Jean brought a smile to everyone's face with her own unique smile. She was a long time waitress at Stark's Family Restaurant and the Harvest Table in Dwight. Over the years, she had many beloved customers and co-workers. After Jean retired, she and Earl could be found at their camper parked alongside many of their "camping friends" at South Wilmington's Fireman's Club where they had been members since the opening of "The Club." Jean's family members have many fond memories of her entertaining them with a day at the "beach" or a night around the campfire. Jean was also an amateur photographer. Because of her photography skills, most of her grandchildren need glasses. Jean was not a typical grandmother; she introduced her children and grandchildren to her love of country music (especially Johnny Cash), Native American culture and art, shopping, animals, and a fun-loving sense of humor. She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. Until we see you again G.G., save us a spot in Heaven.
