Jean, who was a Powell resident for 26 years, passed away in late November after a brief illness. She came to Wyoming from California in 1996 with her life partner, Larry Hans, who passed away in 2012. She loved to cook and often gave homemade jelly as gifts to family and friends. Jean was an active member of the Giddy Up Gals chapter of the Red Hatters and enjoyed participating in their parades and events.

She is survived by her daughters; Donna Alcazar and Gina Leslie, grandchildren; Michael and Wynema Gonzagowski, Jeremy Gonzagowski and Anamarie Alcazar; and great-grandchildren Kaitlyn, Kristopher and Shannon. After Larry’s passing she was well loved and looked after by her adopted Wyoming family (“Larry’s Girls”); Debi Dawe, Melodie Ferri and Laura Drewes and their families. She was much loved and will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for around spring 2023.
