Born in Connecticut on May 9, 1929, Jean was the daughter of the late Walter and Edna Glogg. She retired in 1985 after working for over 35 years as a Second Grade Teacher for the Croton Harmon School District and Lakeland School District.

Along with her husband, she toured the country on motorcycle. She liked visiting Lake George and Old Forge where she spent a lot of time skiing, boating, and snowmobiling. When the weather warmed up, she enjoyed going on country rides in her convertible with the top down. Jean was an avid fan of the NY Yankees and was a member of the Girl Scouts of America.
