    Mrs. Covey and Joe were a great part of the Preston Point neighborhood, so sorry to hear that she has passed on. She was a first class lady. Sherron Wilson and family

    Aunt Jean First Class Lady is what I remember. My family and I were visiting, our son only 10 months old and Aunt jean as always one of the most giving Ladies I have ever known gave my wife who loves to sew so much material to take home that the car was squatting all the way back to Indiana. We still have 2 1/2 totes of material and Lisa has sewn many items through the 19 yrs we have been married. My wife and I will not be able to forget Aunt Jeans graduation into eternity due to the fact that is also our Anniversary. According to several conversations through the years with Aunt Jean concerning eternity scripturally. Aunt Jean gave us a clear presentation of her salvation experience. And I believe she would come close to the lady in Proverbs 31 as scripture tell us. We believe that she is now with Jesus and many of the family members who have gone on before us.

    Always loved visiting Aunt Jean’s house when I was a little girl – swimming in the pool and riding around on the golf cart and jumping on the trampoline. Always so much fun! I remember Aunt Jean making THE best carrot cake I’ve ever eaten to this day! Her happy, sweet – always smiling spirit will be missed. I know they’re all happy to see her in heaven!
