Jean graduated from nurses’ training from the Oil City Hospital Cadet Nurses Training Program. She married her beloved husband, Craig H. Greenlee on November 24, 1948. Jean was known throughout Sandy Lake and Stoneboro for her gentle and compassionate skills as a nurse for Dr. J.C. File. She had also worked as a nurse at Polk State School & Hospital. Even though she was an excellent nurse, she was also an exceptional pianist. Jean began playing organ and piano for church at age twelve and continued playing organ and piano through her early eighties. Not only did she play for church, she played for numerous weddings and at many nursing homes. She always felt that this was her treasured gift from God and she shared that gift unselfishly.

Jean was a woman with a great faith in her Lord and Savior. She had a deep love for her Lord. Over her lifetime she taught Sunday school, helped with VBS, helped lead choir and was a long time member of the Women’s Missionary Society of North Sandy UP Church. After leaving North Sandy, Christian Missionary Alliance Church in Sandy Lake was her home church where she also played piano for several years.
