Jean Ann was preceded in death by her parents, aunts, and uncles. Mrs Larson enjoyed being a part of the downtown business district. She worked for many years at Books Etc and was owner of Golden Crown Hallmark for 17 years. Jean Ann was a vibrant, joyful, fierce and faithful helpmate to her husband. Her devotion to her family was limitless and knew no bounds. She enjoyed being a boss, employee, volunteer, election worker, spouse, farmwife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She loved collecting everything from animals to royalty. Jean Ann traveled extensively and basked in God's glory whether it was a grand cathedral or the ordinary beauty of a flower. She lived life with generous heart, eager to lend a hand when needed, treating everyone as family. She excelled as a mother with unconditional love for her offspring providing, protecting and supporting them all with a fierce love of a Mama Bear. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her and she gave with all her strength until God called her home.
