Several years after Fred’s passing Jean married Robert “Roy” Humphreys in 2010 and they continued to live in Arizona winters and Wisconsin in summer. They traveled to Wales to visit Roy’s relatives there as he grew up in Holy Head Wales. After his passing, Jean later married William “Bill” Richardson who passed away 2017.

Since 1978 she was a member of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Oshkosh, serving on the church council and was the first woman president. Jean loved music and was a member of the church choir for many years.

Thank you Gail. Some of the best memories were going to work with Mom and being together with others in the lab. I loved learning about her passion of the medical world. Please stay in touch. Warmest regards, Tracy

Dear Tracy and other family members, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jean. I had a special bond with her since we were both med techs and both worked at the student health center at UW-O. Please keep all the wonderful memories of her in your hearts and may they bring you comfort at this most difficult time. We are leaving for the Twin Cities tomorrow morning so will miss her funeral but please know that she was highly thought of and you all are in our prayers.
