Jean was a warm and witty lady with many hobbies such as crochet; gardening; collecting coins; ceramics but her favorites were reading her Bible; coffee with her friends and loving her family. Jean was a homemaker on the farm raising three children until she went to work for Bandy's Grocery and then working for Gaines Co. until retirement. Jean's children claim her as a "Wonderful Loving Mom."

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Hibbitts, her parents and brother-in-law, Bill Cook.

Jean is survived by a large loving family. Sons: Kip & Laura Hibbitts, Rick Hibbitts; daughter, Larinda & Dennis Wilson; brother, Bert & Bethel Hanigan and sister, Velma Cook.
