After the death of her father she moved with her mother and two sisters to a farm near Sanders, Montana in 1937. Jean attended school at Sanders through the eighth grade.

They made their home in Harlowtown for a short time before moving to Miles City. Jean and Clarence were blessed with four sons. In 1952, at the age of 22, Jean was stricken with polio. She spent about six weeks in the iron lung. She then spent several months at Shodair Children's Hospital in Helena for physical therapy. The therapy helped with movement of her arms but she was confined to a wheelchair. Jean loved to read and learn. In 1981, Jean went to college at Miles Community College. She took classes for computers and office management. Jean enjoyed knitting, crocheting, reading, artex painting and working daily crossword puzzles in the newspapers. She enjoyed playing cards. She would tease her son's wives they weren't part of the family until they learned to play pinochle. In the spring and summer months, Jean would spend hours in her garden enjoying the beautiful flowers. Jean loved being with and talking to people. If you stopped by Jean's home, you would be there longer than planned. Jean made you feel welcome. She was known to many as Mom or Grandma Jean.
