Death notice
October 1, 1934 - August 20, 2024 Spokane - Born to William and Virginia McMichael in Portland, OR, where she spent her adolescent life. Jean graduated from Lincoln High School in 1952, and also completed the highest ranking in Campfire Girls achieving the Wohelo award which she was very proud of. After High School she attended Oregon State and Portland State with studies in Journalism. In 1956, she married Gerald Winn and soon started a family which included a son and a daughter. She was a stay-at-home mom and once her children were raised, she started her career with JC Penney's. She worked there for many years and very much loved her job. One year she won an award for top sales associate in the men's suit department for selling the most suits out of all the JC Penney's stores, which she was also very proud of. She loved her family and in her free time she enjoyed boating with her family, going for a ride on her son's Harley, music, dancing and shopping (which she was very good at!). She is survived by her sister, Billie (Maurice) Comeau, son, Andrew (Cynthia) Winn, daughter, Kelly (Mike) Faux, 4 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. There will be a private gathering for family and friends in October. She will be greatly missed by all.
