Jean B Vaughn
February 7, 1923 – July 10, 2014
Jean B. Vaughn was born on February 7, 1923 in Wenatchee, Washington to John Boyle and Marie Weythman, and passed away peacefully in Des Moines, Washington on July 10, 2014. Jean was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Jean was married to James (Jim) Frederick Vaughn on October 25, 1941. They were married for 69 years.
After Jim & Jean were married they moved to the Seattle area where they built their first home with the help of Jim’s grandfathers. That was the first of many building & remodeling projects that they worked on together over the years. Jean was the granddaughter of pioneers of the Monitor, Washington area, a fact of which she was very proud. Her family is still growing apples on the land her grandparents homesteaded. Jean loved anything with an apple theme. She was a charter and very active member of the Highline United Methodist Church in Burien serving the church in many capacities over the years. Jean loved to sew, knit, collect stamps and coins, and read. She was never without something to read, and once her eyesight failed, she turned to books on tape for her “reading”. Her marriage, her family, and her faith were her priorities. She will be greatly missed.
Jean is survived by her children, John & Barbara, her grandchildren Jim, Marie, Kim, Jana & Julie, great-grandchildren Brie, Brandon, Ellie, Will & Charlie, and many extended family & friends. She is preceded in death by her husband Jim in 2011, her daughter Sandy in 1993, and his grandson Jay in 1985.
