Jean and her loving husband, Richard L. “Dick” Miller, shared 32 wonderful years together. With Dick as her partner, she never stopped adventuring. Together, they visited all 50 states, hiked in national and state parks, golfed, and traveled to Europe.

Jean also cherished being at home among her gardens and flowers. She enjoyed crocheting and was an expert with her sewing machine. She was a breast cancer survivor since 2001 and lived vibrantly though having Waldenström’s for her last 15 years.
