Beth Tudan
Jean, my favorite cousin-aunt; our family’s rock. Jean always put family first, whether to throw a big party, or invite everyone together for the Fourth of July, or to just get together at our favorite barbecue restaurant and enjoy dinner together. She has always been a keeper of family history, knowing details of the bow family tree and keeping everyone in touch in the family across multiple generations. She always welcomed everyone whether the new baby to the family or the new minister of the Methodist church. She loved her children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandchild Henry Paul. Jean represents strength and Christianity. When she talk to you, she always made you feel like you were the only person in the room. I always enjoy hearing her stories about her childhood and capable and the living in the big house and then her meeting cousin-uncle Paul at UT Knoxville. I will miss her, but I am glad she will be reunited with her soulmate Paul.Love, Beth, Costi, Paul, Alexander, and Thomas Tudan Vienna, Virginia
