Jean was born on August 26, 1949, in Butler, PA, the daughter of the late Paul and Helen (Keefer) Barger.  She graduated from High School in Knox, PA and married the love of her life, James Say on September 1, 1970; they had resided in Clarion, PA and Erie, PA prior to coming to Westfield more than 43 years ago.

Jean had been employed by Westfield Academy and Central School in the Cafeteria and in the Kitchen of the Absolut Care of Westfield.  She had also been employed by Belknap Business Forms at both the Westfield and Mayville plants in the custodial department.  Jean was the “neighborhood Mom” who enjoyed babysitting many of the children in her neighborhood.
