Jean will be forever remembered for her valuable contribution to the fancy of standard poodles and for her management of the venders at PCA´s annual specialty. Her Torchlight line will forever be remembered as an outstanding contribution to the standard of the breed

Today we helped Montague transition and I wanted to let Jean know, but I see she's already there waiting in him.
I had found her via a wonderful companion poodle who captivated me with her personality. FFWD to us meeting Jean, going for custard at Kopp and shopping at a specialty grocery store. She loved her poodles. She gave us the most wonderful gift in Montague and we are grieving his loss.
Thank you, Jean, without you our wonderful relationship and appreciation of standard poodles wouldn't have been realized.

Here's my chance to add to the list of memories. I am so sorry for the family's loss. Jean was introduced to me by another poodle fan from Brookfield. I treasured the suggestions both ladies offered and a friendship that grew out of our common interest. Jean gave her heart and love for the poodle to all she met. The poodle world misses Jean. I miss Jean and our phone chats, too. Mary

We are proud parents of one of Jean's beautiful standard poodles. He is my wonderful friend and best fitness trainer in the world. We walk quite a distance every day. He's napping on the rug next to me right now.
What wonderful dogs she raised and how well she guided and supported new owners. She will be sadly missed - Meryl

We just learned yesterday of Jean's passing. She was a member of Anytime Fitness in Cary, IL. She always stopped in the office to say hello to us and share a bit of her perspective and life experiences, including especially her passion for her dogs. We often talked about the books she read and recently exchanged some books that we each enjoyed. She was a lovely, lovely person who is already missed. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Jean will be greatly missed by all! She was a caring, loving person who gave to the community in many ways. Besides her love of poodles she was one of the founding members of the Eldercare Focus Group of Southeastern Wisconsin back in 2004. She helped plan the monthly, free educational programs and was sure to bring a couple of delicious home made treats every single month. She traveled all the way to the New Berlin library where the programs happen even after her recent move!
God's Blessings

Jean was the heart & soul of Torchlight. She provided the confirmation world with championship poodles and the performance world with standard poodles that were beautiful, intelligent, and that had an attitude that drove them to excel in all performance venues. Jean shared her vast knowledge of the breed with me and was my biggest cheerleader throughout the careers of my Torchlight poodles. Jean's passing leaves a void in the poodle world and in my heart. She will be greatly missed.
