She then moved to Spokane, WA where she attended and graduated from Mary Cliff High School. She was married to Melvin Raymond Seely on September 28, 1946. Jean was preceded in death by two of her children, Linda Ann and Susan Jane, and two brothers, Jack Revier and Bob Revier, and was widowed in March of 1999. She is survived by two sisters, Peggy Walters and JoAnn Brown. She is survived by three of her children, Melanie and (Don) Powers, Doug and (Linda) Seely, and Teresa and (Pat) Kunz.

Jean enjoyed doing for others and was generous with her time and talents. Her humor and strength will be missed. She never lost her sense of humor. Right up until the end if you would have asked her how she felt, she would have said, "with my hands".
