Jean grew up in Cataldo and attended elementary school in a two-room school house (with eight grades) in Latour Creek. She then attended and graduated from Kellogg High School in 1955.

Jean was united in marriage to Eddie Meyer on April 28, 1956, in Pinehurst, Idaho. After their marriage, Jean and Eddie moved to Pinehurst and in 1960, they moved to Coeur d’Alene.

Jean attended cosmetology school at Lyle’s Salon And School of Hair Design in Coeur d’Alene; after her schooling, she continued to work and train others at Lyle’s for 30-plus years. After Lyle’s, Jean continued to work for several Beauty Salons in the Coeur d’Alene area; she worked until she was in her 70s and retired in 2014.

Jean was a member of the First Baptist Church in Coeur d’Alene. Jean loved and enjoyed her family, vegetable and flower gardening of which she won many ribbons and awards at county fairs, oil painting, crocheting, sewing, knitting and camping. Jean loved to cook at her family’s hunting camps and her specialty was her fried apple pie. Jean loved to take care of people and prepare wonderful food for them; another specialty of Jean’s was her Elderberry “Bounce” liqueur. She loved to send letters and cards and was everyone’s prayer warrior; Jean would leave scripture notes around her home, such as, “Prayer is the key to Heaven,” “Faith unlocks the door.” She was so very much loved and will be greatly missed.
