Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Jean joined her parents and three
siblings when they immigrated to the United States. She completed business
college following high school and pursued an active career as an executive
secretary for a prominent insurance agency in Connecticut. She married
John Hall in 1940, and put her career on hold to raise five children.
They moved to Florida in 1956 when John signed on with the Lake Worth
Post Office, and moved their large family to Lake Osborne Estates in
1957. Jean was an active member of the Lake Worth Does, holding several
positions and served as the secretary at Delray Beach Elementary 1958-1961,
Boynton Beach Elementary School 1961 – 1978. |
Among her greatest pleasures
were watching her children play at the Lake Worth Beach and along the
Westbrook, Connecticut shore during vacation. She was an avid reader and bridge player until macular degeneration claimed her sight in 2002. She has resided at Lakeside Village since 1998 where she enjoyed the companionship of new neighbors and the comfort of dear friends.
