She was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Frederika. Jean received her early education at Bremer School, Dresden Township in rural Frederika, prior to graduating from New Hampton High School. Upon graduation Jean continued her education at State Teacher’s College (now known as University of Northern Iowa) where she received her teaching license. She taught in the country schools of Fayette and Bremer County for four years. On August 11, 1950, she was united in marriage with Milton Leech in Preston, Minnesota. Jean and Milton farmed together for many years in rural Westgate, and made their home welcoming to many people over the years. Milton’s death occurred January 30, 1981. Following Milton’s death, Jean moved to Calmar and studied accounting at N.I.C.C. She received her accounting degree in 1983, and moved back to the family farm. Jean worked for Sumner Country Grains, Smith Excavating, and Specialty Wire. She moved in to Sumner in August of 1983, and remained in her home until moving to Hillcrest Assisted Living in May of 2017.

She was the sexton of Greenwood Cemetery for many years, the United Methodist Women, American Federation of Women, and Farm Bureau. She enjoyed baking, cooking, gardening, sewing, quilting, and reading. Jean enjoyed many things, but her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
