Jean Hall passed away on November 15, 2023, at Backus Hospital in Norwich, CT. Jean was born August 6, 1947, in Belfast, Northern Ireland as the middle of five children to James Crowe, Sr. and Elizabeth Crowe.

As a Navy spouse, Jean relocated several times early in their marriage to Portsmouth, VA, West Ruislip, UK, and several places in Connecticut, finally settling in Salem. After Jean retired, she helped mind after her two granddaughters becoming a pivotal part of their upbringing.
