Jean worked many years as a keep punch operator in San Jose, California. Her favorite job was when she joined the Santa Clara Police Department, where she worked in records and was a Matron.  Jean moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia after marrying her first love, George Brown.  She continued her law enforcement career with the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Department until she retired.  One of her many hobbies was crafting. She also liked to crochet – she made many nice blankets and even won a first place ribbon at the Santa Clara County Fair.   She was on a roller derby team for a short time and worked as a roller skating car hop.  She even volunteered to drive in a Powder Puff Stock Car Derby race but came in last! Jean also served in the United States Air Force.
