She was predeceased by her twin sister Janet Sciuto and her older sister Maureen Franklin. 

Jean dedicated her life to her family. As a single parent, she worked tirelessly to provide the best possible life for her children. She always put their needs ahead of her own. Jean's ever-present selfless nature extended well beyond her children, she was quick to help family or friends in need. 

She was an actively involved booster member for her children's athletics, which is where she connected with and became a part of The Notorious Nine. Jean thoroughly enjoyed their regular dinner outings, occasional weekend trips, and their Las Vegas vacation.

After her retirement, Jean focused on helping to care for her young grandchildren.
