She was born March 31, 1927, to George and Clara (Spaeth) Lindgren.
Jean was a wonderful cook. Jean planned and served large family gatherings for all holidays, and insisted everyone who stopped by even for a minute, have something to eat.

Jean was also active in farming, moving to the Polzin farm with Lloyd in 1950, where she actively helped with farming.
