Jean Satterlee: ‘A Smile That Would Brighten the Room’

This section includes both obituaries and memories. Honoring our loved ones who have died does not end immediately after their passing. We recognize that… so we’re extending our obituary section to include individuals who may have left a long time ago. If you want to remember someone who is gone, either recently or longer ago, please send a photo and a few sentences to [email protected].

Jean Satterlee of Fort Seward, CA died peacefully in her home on May 4th, 2018 surrounded by her loving husband and family after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

She was one of the nicest women I have ever met. Loved going to Tami”s house after school. Jean always had great snacks waiting for us when we arrived. Beautiful lady, inside and out. So sorry for your loss.
