She graduated from Onaway High School and from County Normal, and in1937 began teaching at the Bell School (near Presque Isle Harbor) and later at the Hawks School.
Rev. S.J. Francis joined Jean and Donald McLennan in marriage on June 25, 1938 in Rogers City, where they then made their home for almost 70 years.
Jean was a faithful worshiper at the Westminster Presbyterian Church and was a very
active Circle member, as well as a Life Member of the Order of the Eastern Star. After raising her family, she worked for many years as a teacher's aide in the Rogers City Elementary School where she loved and cared for many children. She was a great fan of the Detroit Tigers, and would often be found watching a ball game while pursuing her passion for knitting. Many were the sweaters, slippers and dishcloths that she lovingly crafted and gave away over the years.
Jean is survived by: four daughters and three sons and grandchildren. Recently, Jean welcomed her thirtieth great-grandchild. She leaves behind many nieces and nephews, her special McDonald's friends, and all those who loved her at Golden Beach Manor.
