She was born December 9, 1940. She was the first of 8 children. She lovingly cared for and helped raise her younger siblings after her mom passed away when Jean was 6. Jean met her eternal companion Roy Reynolds through her brother Ron who had been hired into the family business. Jean and Roy were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on June 9, 1961. Roy and Jean then started a BMW motorcycle shop which they passionately ran together for many years. They rode everywhere together and even spent their honeymoon on the back of the motorcycle going across the country.

Jean and Roy lived a wonderful life together raising eight children. They had two biological children then selflessly fostered three and adopted three more. She deeply loved her 16 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.

Jean was a very loving and caring person. She would help everyone she met in any way she could. She wouldn't let you leave without showing you how she felt by giving you a big hug. You could always find Jean cooking and baking for her family and friends.

She knew the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was true and wanted to share Jesus’ love with everyone around her. She would spend hours doing service, helping people she loved.

Jean was preceded in death by her daughter, Kathleen. She is survived by her husband Roy, children William, Mark, Rena, Rufus, Rose, John, and Christy.
