Jean was familiar with the Adventist Church from her grandparents and aunts who regularly took her to church. She was baptized when she was 13. She was able to attend Enterprise Academy for her senior year. 

She worked as a commercial artist for many years. In 2009, shortly after moving to Idaho, Fred passed away at the age of 88.
