Jean lived all of her life with our parents. When they passed away, she lived alone for a number of years until her handyman Mario J. Carrion of Riverside, CA, who had persuaded her to give him her power of attorney and put him in her will, hired a young woman, Ms. D. Garcia, to assist Jean with things that she could no longer do for herself. She never married and didn't have any children. An offer was made more than once after our mother died to help her and our father, who had lost his eyesight, move closer to their family in Spokane, WA, but Jean claimed that she didn't want to move to a colder climate.
More than a year after Jean passed away, Mario finally purchased a nice headstone for Jean out of her estate that he managed to obtain via a classic handyman scam (as defined by the AARP). The reference to "dancing queen" on her headstone refers to her love of watching dancing. Her favorite TV show was "Dancing With the Stars." As far as I can tell, Mario still hasn't bothered to have her headstone put in place.

My earliest memory of my sister Jean was her showing me the contents of a hope chest that she kept in the garage. It had dinnerware with a blue design, linens and so forth. During the Korean War, she would write to young men who were serving overseas. One day she was looking sad and said to me that when she'd send them her photo, she'd never hear from them again. I was puzzled by that. I was too young to realize that her crooked front tooth, which should have been corrected by an orthodontist, may have been the reason. The only dating I recall her doing when young was double dating with her friend Marilyn and Marilyn's future husband Bud. I don't remember the name of the young man, but at some point she said that he was "becoming too serious," so she quit seeing him. When Jean was working at Allstate in Pasadena, CA, her co-worker Dorothy Walker arranged for a date with a single friend who she thought Jean might find interesting, but it didn't work out. I'm not aware of her doing any other dating.
