Jean moved to Beloit to begin a new chapter of her life. While working in Beloit, she met the love of her life Bob and they were united in marriage at St John's the Baptist Church on November 23, 1953. This union was blessed with 5 children. Ann, Linda, Joe, Mary and Robert Scott.

Jean loved shopping trips with the girls, dancing with Bob, attending football games for the boys, and hosting Sunday dinner for friends and family alike. Jean was active in 4-H, a member of the St John's the Baptist Catholic Church of Beloit, St John's Ladies Guild, and a beloved room mother. Jean loved the beauty of fresh flowers in her yard, a new baby in the house, and took great pride in their Hereford cattle.
