I was so sad to hear about Jean's passing. I have many fond memories of our times together. Please know that my husband and I, as well as my sons Ricky and Randy and their families will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincere condolences to you all.
Aunt Jean and Uncle Bert were two of the kindest and most down to earth people I have ever known. I have happy memories of visiting them as a child on road trips down from Cleveland with my Grandparents Bob and Fran Ice. She cooked me the first buckwheat pancake I ever tasted, and used to make them at my request when we came to town. I think what I'll best remember about those summer visits is sitting on their front porch in the evenings, listening to Bert and Bob tell tall tales while Jean and Fran snapped string beans and shook their heads. Yep, those are happy memories. I hope the memory of the good times with Jean are a comfort to you all during this time of grieving too. God Bless.

Sorry for your loss.
Dear Ice Family,
Jean was a pleasant servant to her Lord, and so many others. We remembered her sweet smile and positive attitude. It was a privilege to be her pastor and and pastor's wife. We know she will be missed by her family and by Calvary. Be assured of our prayers during this time.
