On July 8, 1955, Jean married James B. Smith, who survives. They were married 63 years ago at Pine Ridge by Rev. Pierce. Jean enjoyed her horses in her younger days and always loved sewing, knitting, crocheting, working in her garden and spending time with her family and grandchildren. Jean loved making afghans and knitting sweaters. She often commented that while she was working with yarn, whether it be making one of her grandchildren a sweater or crocheting an afghan, she had "happy hands".

(Kristina McDaniel) Maxwell of Katy, TX, Douglas (Shelley Robinson) Oyler of Erie, Keith (Georgia) Oyler of Lucinda, David N.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, a son, James Smith, a granddaughter, Tina Lynn Maxwell, her brothers, Joseph, Charles (Buck), John Botts, and sisters, Helen Bender and Betty Blair. Per Jean's wishes a private viewing and graveside service will be held Thursday for the family. Arrangements are being handled by the Borland-Ensminger Funeral Home, Inc. in Leeper, PA.
