During the winter of 1981, Jean met Danial McGuire, they knew from the beginning that something special was in their future. Jean and Dan eventually married on August 14, 1982 in a private ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada, followed by a celebration in Southern California.

Jean was blessed to be a loving mother of four children, Pamela, Hugh, Peggy, and Gregory. She cared and loved her children dearly, always doing whatever it took to bring them joy and happiness throughout their lives together. She was also blessed to have four loving grandchildren, Kyle, Rhiann, Gregory, and Sophia.

Jean was survived by her husband, Daniel McGuire; her two surviving children, Hugh and Peggy; and her four grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving eldest brother, Phil; and her younger sister, Jill.
