Norjean "Jean" Olive Lee was born on June 13, 1928 to Glen and Myrtle Snider Stoneburner in Pilot Mound, Iowa. She was united in marriage to John Henry Lee on December 28, 1946 in Boone, Iowa.

Norjean was preceded in death by her parents; her husband John; 4 brothers and 2 sisters.

Jean and John Moved from Iowa to Colorado in 1962. Jean and John enjoyed about 20 years "on the road"; with John building churches six days a week, 12 months a year and with Jean taking care of John as they traveled from town to town and state to state. Jean being a "people person" really enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing new parts of our country. After retiring from the road Jean and Jon owned and operated "Garden Lane Liquors" in Commerce City, Colorado. Jean and John ran their liquor store for 12 1/2 years until moving back to Iowa and settling in Leon.

Jean enjoyed her quite time with her flowers and her vegetable garden, also crocheting and reading. Jean was also pretty good with a pool cue and a bowling ball. Jean was always ready for a game of cards, especially "Skipbo" where the hands would turn into hours of play.

Norjean "Jean" Olive [Stoneburner] Lee was a wife, mother, mentor and friend! Jean will be greatly missed by all that knew her!

Plant a flower if you wish, in remembrance of Jean. She would have loved that!
