"Jean married Hielscher on December 31, 1953. Together they had 4 beautiful children. Orville passed away suddenly from a tragic accident when his youngest was only 4 years old. Jean was determined to give their children a solid Christian education, thus they settled in Hanford, CA. Jean fought 3 battles with breast cancer, the last being her final one. Jean was a quiet, honorable woman that worked very hard to raise her children properly and accomplished that goal. Jean never remarried due to the fact that her father had remarried after Jean's mother passed away from breast cancer in 1938. Jean and her 2 sisters did not get along with their step-mother, therefore Jean would not make that mistake for her children to live with. This was the bravest, most loving mother I have ever had the honor to know!"
