After coming to Ohio as a young woman, she met and married Stanley Howard Phillippi, her loving and devoted husband of 56 years.

Jean made friends wherever she went. She loved to travel, pair that with a love of the ocean and she had many fun-filled vacations. She cruised to Hawaii, through the Panama Canal and many Caribbean and Mexican destinations. Jean was a wonderful self-taught oil painter. She loved to sew. Her home was something she was proud of and greatly enjoyed, creating beautiful flower gardens and watching the birds and other wildlife that wandered into her yard. Most of all, her family meant everything to her. She adored her grandsons and granddogs. ZT always said Meme gave the best hugs!
Jean will be missed and loved forever by her family.
