They married August 31, 1954, when she was 14, and he was 19. They were together for 40 years before death temporarily separated them. Jean is now with her forever love.
She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, and brothers, Bobby Wayne Head and Marvin Jimmerson ""Jimmy"" Head. She leaves to cherish her memories her brother, Ralph (Pat) Head; her sister, Adell Head Walker all of Gulfport; her daughters and loving caregivers, Sandra (George) Hauersperger of Perkinston, whom she lived with, Donna Saucier of Saucier, Tracey (Joe) Wolfe of Gulfport; and her son, Arthur Dawayne (Stephanie) Saucier of Pass Christian.
She was the best Nanny that 11 grandchildren, Amanda (Dewayne) Canterberry, Brandon (Jana) Dearman, Ashley (Brad) Moye, Adonna Disbrow, Amber Kirkpatrick, Andrea Bond, Aretha (Caleb) Cuevas, Codey Wolfe, Black and Gracie Saucier and Kali Smith, could be blessed with.

Jean spent her life loving and caring for her family and friends. She always had food cooked, an open home, and was a second Mom to all our friends. She was talented seamstress, quilter, and crocheter. Our quilts and crochet tablecloths are our greatest treasures.
Mom, you raised us to be strong, loving and caring. We are forever grateful.
Enjoy your reunion. We will love and miss you. Until we meet again.

Stepheny Bruckley Sumrall, and Dr. Fidel Sendra for their excellent care and compassion shown to our Mom and giving us extra time to be with her. Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Sloan, and N.P.

A special thanks to Kim, Jaime, Lakeisha and Trixie with Kare in Hospice for your love, compassion and care for our mother.
