It is so difficult to say good-bye to my special friend---Jean. I so admired her strong Christian values and her talents of being an accomplished seamstress and her wonderful cooking skills. Jean loved talking about her family. It was with great pride when she shared stories and cherished pictures of them. May she now rest in peace.

Pat and I smile when we think of Jean. She and Jen sat near us at St. Joe’s and we always chatted after Mass. Also, the two of them ran the bakery table at Mardi Gras so we got to do a lot of visiting. Rest In Peace, dear Jean. You were one of the best!

Cote family sorry for the loss of your mom. Jean always had a smile and kind works for everyone. I remember so well taking several upholstery class from here and one time I turned around and she was laughing so hard, I was confused and she smiled and said you sure are not cut out to do upholstery we both had a great laugh and she showed me what was wrong. We laughed about that over the years. May your happy memories carry through in the days ahead. She loved her family. God Bless

To the Cote Family,
I think of Jean with that twinkle in her eye, that smile and her laugh. And of course...her peanut brittle! We appreciated her all those years she came to Head Start and did health activities with the children. She was a devoted volunteer to our program. Rest In Peace, dear Jean.

I was blessed to have Jean as a co-worker and friend. She was a joy to work with and the clients loved her!!! Many fond memories of ours days together at the Health Unit. I will miss stopping by for coffee, reminiscing and enjoying a good laugh. Jean was very giving and talented and I admired how she shared her time and talents so willingly. She was challenged with the gradual loss of her eyesight and along with that having to discontinue doing so many of her hobbies (and she had many--you name it she did it ). While frustrated she accepted it with grace. She was a woman of strong faith and I know she is enjoying the promises of Christ! Taking comfort in knowing you are whole again. RIP my dear friend.

I have fond memories of the education she gave me, regarding my infants, when she was district health nurse. She was quite a lady & always pleasant. Her wisdom is something I reflected on later in my life, when I became a maternal child health nurse.

I loved Jean so much! She really took me under her wing and treated me like family when we moved to Williston in 1981. We shared many laughs as we drove to immunization clinics all over Williams County. Jennifer was the first babysitter my girls ever had. I have such fond memories of times spent with her. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

Goodbye Jean, my dear friend. There is already a huge void in my life. Since we moved to Minot, Jean was the main reason for my return to Williston. She always had the coffee pot on, and she always had a listening ear and lots of friendly conversation and lots of laughs. My sincere sympathy to her family. I know you will miss her immensely, as will I. RIP, Jean.
