Jean was a teacher by profession most of her adult life, touching the lives of many students in Mill Valley, San Francisco and Marin County. A life long learner, she participated in many book club reviews. Jean had travelled to many places throughout the world with her late husband Peter J Rhodes, but always preferred her view of Mt. Tamalpais from her home. She always said, “The living is here”.

Jean succumbed to cancer. Her dignity, courage and faith continues to be a comfort to those who shared her last weeks with her. It was her love for all that will be remembered most. She always made a point to express the positive in everyone and everything.
