Jean Graver Johnson, 79, passed away Saturday afternoon at Wayne Memorial Hospital.

Jean was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England, Sept. 20, 1933, to the late George and Bella Browne Graver.

In her spare time, she enjoyed getting out in her yard to work in her flower garden and watch the birds. Jean also enjoyed the many friends she had made while swimming at the Family Y.

The family will hold a private family service.
