Facts and Events
My grandmother told me her given name was Ila Jean, but she hated it, so she always went by just Jean.
My mother confirmed this by phone this evening, but when I travel to PA again I will get records to post confirmation.
The obituary was misprinted at the time, however the information is out of date as well.
Her daughter Diana (wife of James Vance) has children as follows:
Christopher Vance,
Stephanie (Vance)DuBois,
Eric Vance,
Krysten (Vance) Moon,
Benjamin Vance,
Maryann (Vance) McQuinn,
Patricia (Vance) Clawson,
Heather (Evans) McKinney,
Garrison Evans,
Aaron Vance,
Matthew Vance,
Michael Vance,
Also, as of 2014, Jean has over 35 great grand children in the Vance line.
