Born July 6, 1924, in Shamokin, she was a daughter of the late David W. and Ida Mae (Shipman) Burket.

Jean was a graduate of Williamsport High School Class of 1942 and furthered her education at Easton Hospital School of Professional Nursing. She served in the nurse cadet corps during World War II. Jean retired after 30 years of service from Lycoming County providing care and compassion to the patients entrusted to her care. A highlight of her career came during her time at Sycamore Manor, Williamsport when her supervisor asked her to name the road for the area being cleared for the present day Loyalsock Creek Nursing and Rehab facility. She chose Sycamore because of the many Sycamore trees that outlined the area.

Jean was a member of the Williamsport Billtown Red Hat Society and also served on various community committees.
