Graduate of South Fork Croyle High School, class of 1958. In the Summer of 1958, Jean moved to Washington, DC and worked as a secretary for the Federal Aviation Administration. She met Robert on a weekend trip home and moved back to Sidman when they married. In her younger years, Jean volunteered many hours with St Michael Volunteer Fire Company, Ladies Auxiliary, and the Cambria County Humane Society.
