MILTON, JEAN MAE
1929 ‑ 2016

She taught at several schools in the area, including Albert Mines, Humphrey, Riverview, Hillsborough and Lower Coverdale. She also taught in the one room school house in Goshen and Curryville.

When the last one entered school, she then went back to teaching on a part‑time basis for a number of years.

Jean attended the Weldon Baptist Church, was a Dominion Life member and president of the Weldon Women’s Missionary Society. She was very involved in church activities, helping wherever needed.

She was also an avid craftsperson, knitting many sweaters, making quilts, hooking mats, sewing clothes and household items. She cooked fabulous meals as well as baking a variety of pies, cookies and cakes. You could guarantee every year her delicious divinity fudge would be a hit on Halloween.
