Jane E RocqueIt was so sad to hear about Jean. As a former teacher at Gateway, I was able to interact with Jean on numerous occasions. She was always sweet, kind and professional. My sympathies to her family and friends. She will be missed. Sincerely, Jane Rocque

Pat CalvertMy prayers are to the family and best wishes. Jean was a wonderful friend. I worked with Jeanne at Gateway Technical College, doing phone calls to the students, and we worked well together and always had a good time. The students were appreciative of our continued interest in their futures. Jean was at Gateway many years, and helped countless students continue their education. I will miss her smile and friendly good nature.
