She then graduated with her diploma from Pulaski High School on September 20, 2006. Jean was an avid participant in the yearly Brown County Fair and Wisconsin State Fair over the course of her lifetime. As an adult, she participated in the Valley Beef Association, Bay Port FFA Alumni, Door County Fair, and the World Beef Expo. Also, Jean played a pivotal role in the lives of many of Wisconsin's youth.

In life, sometimes people feel suicide is the only answer to an extreme amount of loneliness and pain. Please reach out to those around you for support throughout life as no one is truly ever alone.
