It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our treasured Jean (Isabel) Jabe, who passed away on March 28, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was 83 years old. Born and raised in South Rockwood, Michigan, she graduated from Airport High School, went on to study accounting and spent her career in the interior design industry. She was the daughter of the late John and Pearl Wyman; and was also preceded in death by her son, Michael Allen Jabe; and brother, Thomas Wyman. Jean was more than a wife, mother, and grandmother; she was a beacon of kindness, compassion, and unwavering love. Her gentle spirit touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She had a rare gift of making everyone feel valued and cherished, spreading warmth and joy wherever she went. Though she may no longer be with us in body, Jean's spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will forever be cherished and remembered. Jean is survived by her husband of 64 years, John Michael Jabe; son, John Michael Jabe III "Mike" (Gillian); daughter, Karie R.
