Jean was a true renaissance woman. In her late 20's she obtained her pilot's license and loved to fly. She was a master gardener and cook, a talented seamstress, and an artist. She was an avid reader and especially loved books on science. She loved travel. She could identify almost every bird she saw and heard. Jean loved animals and had many pets. Two of her favorites were Poncho, a parrot, and Cola, a horse. She was a talented sportswoman who loved to fish and hunt. She loved sailing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Jean was predeceased by her parents George and Agnes, and her older brother Marcus Marchette. She is survived by her husband of 42 years Carl Robbins; her brother George Marchette, Jr. (Ingrid) ; her sister Judy Burrows; her daughters: Lynn Heinrichs, Sherre Reese Hebert (Peter), and Lillian Price (Phillip Holmes); her stepchildren: Karla Sue Seid (Bing), Dan Robbins (Susan) , Richard Robbins (Kathy) , and Paul Robbins; her twelve grandchildren; and her 18 great-grandchildren.

Jean's wishes were not to have a funeral service; but instead to ask family and friends to make a donation to the Audubon Society (Honor the memory of a bird lover in your life. | National Audubon Society) to honor her love of birds and all things wild.
