Jean, an avid golfer, was rated best female golfer at Southwestern College in Memphis. She later shot a hole-in-one on two occasions. She could hit the ball as far as most men and played off the men's tee. Male golfers were pleased to get her on their team for a Scramble. Lady golfers enjoyed Jean for her quick wit, honesty and wisdom. Jean was an accountant and auditor for the City of San Antonio.
