Jean was born April 17, 1922, in Correctionville, Iowa, to August and Lillian (McCormick) Peterson, and was baptized at Correctionville Methodist Church. Upon graduation from Cushing High School in 1940, she attended Nettleman College in Sioux City, Iowa, earning her Secretarial degree, in half the time! Jean was Executive Assistant to Mr. Martin at T.S. Martin Company in Sioux City and treasured lunch dates with her Mother at the department store. She played tennis whenever she could, up to two times a day, and through a blind date, set up by her roommate Margie Blass, met her future husband. After a short courtship, on April 1, 1950, Jean was united in marriage to George Robert Blass; to this union, four children were born: Christy, Chuck, Juli, and Lori. They lived on the family farm south of Early, which is where Jean lived independently, until the age of 97, when she broke her hip. Everyone that encountered Jean, knew she was passionate about life. She played an integral role in the Early Methodist Church and UMW (United Methodist Women), and when Lori was ten, returned to a long career as Executive Assistant at McCorkle Construction Company in Sac City, Iowa. Her friends and family were very dear to her, and she truly adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Jean was an avid bowler, a sharp player in many card clubs, and remained interested and active in the political scene. She also enjoyed traveling, wintering in her Fort Myers, Florida home, and really loved shopping - always finding the perfect accessories to wear with every outfit. Those thankful for having Jean in their life include daughters: Christy (Dick); Juli (Jim); and Lori (Brian); grandchildren: Che and Sheryll; Barb and Cory; Jenny and Jimmy; Ashley and Ben; Erik; Callie; and “adopted granddaughter”, April; great-grandchildren: Telana, Kai, Teo, Brayden, Gunnar, Knox and Nora. Other survivors include sister-in-law, Marjorie; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Jean was preceded in death by her beloved parents; brothers; sisters; husband, George; son, Chuck; parents-in-law; sisters and brothers-in-law.
