She is survived by her son Ross Fuller (Patty), and granddaughters Hailey Fuller of Olympia, Washington, and Hilary Fuller Summerlin, Nevada, and many nephews and nieces in the US and Canada.

Before settling in Olympia, she lived in Burnaby, British Columbia, Tacoma, Washington, and Seattle, Washington. Jean attended Stadium High School in Tacoma, the University of Washington, and the University of Puget Sound. Jean worked for the Washington State DSHS for over 30 years beginning as a social case worker in downtown Seattle and retiring from the Senior Service/Volunteer Section in Olympia. Her entire life has been assisting others whether professionally or personally. As a young wife and mother, Jean was active with husband Jack in the early days of the Washington Foldboat Club (Now Washington Kayak Club) and ran most rivers of the northwest US and Canada. In addition, they were both active in the Mountaineers. They also spent most of their spare time at their beach place on Marrowstone Island. After retirement, Jean and many great friends travelled the world and visited most continents, hiking and exploring these wonderful locations. Closer to home Jean was a “Founding Mother” of the Tuesday Trotters hiking club. Jean had a kindly heart and would always help a friend in need.
