In 1945, Jean moved to Ohio and met Ed Welch. The two had an immediate connection and were married August 24, 1945. They had three children, Michael (Mike), Anthony (Tony), and Robyn. During their 36 years together, they lived in Ohio, Florida and Utah. One of their favorite past times was taking trips to visit family. 

Ed passed away in Utah in 1981. In 1996, Jean married Kent Belliston. He passed away in 2003. 

While in Florida, Jean fell in love with floral design. She loved her job at Neff Floral in St. Marks Hospital. After they closed, she worked for Brown’s Floral and The Flower Box. Jean had a wonderful gift of making beautiful arrangements. 

Jean enjoyed going out dancing, reading, playing Bingo with her neighborhood community, sitting under a blanket watching her favorite soap operas and spending time with her family. Jean is best known for going to dinner and being full, BUT she always had room for dessert.
