In her community she was very active in Cub Scott of Trinidad and Tobago and was the leader for many years. Jean migrated to New York and then to Anchorage, Alaska, where she lived for 34 years.

In 2011, when her health started failing she moved to Sumter, South Carolina to be with her brother and sister-in-law.
