Jean Catherine Labuhn

Dear Michael and Rachael and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Jean and I shared many conversations about literature and poetry while she taught at Jones. She always had a smile and a kind hello. She truly had a sense of fashion and is the ONLY person I know who could actually wear orange. She spoke often of you and was so proud of you both God bless you and keep you. Kathy Preston Jones Middle School

I am so sorry for your loss. Jean and I were colleagues in the Upper Arlington Schools. She often talked to me about how proud she was of Rachel studying piano with my father. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Diane Haddad

So many fine memories of Jean, especially sharing her lovely home in UA for gatherings of CAFE SOCIETY. A very close friend that shared many stories with me. One who made a difference in people’s lives with her enthusiasm for everything—-well almost. She will be missed by many.

Jean was a lady with style! It was a joy to work with her at Jones Middle School in 6th grade language arts.. She had a wealth of knowledge about literature as well as poetry, and she challenged students to give their best effort. Her energy and enthusiasm were inspiring and there was always stimulating conversation, often about Rachel and Michael. Jean was famous at school potlucks for bringing her fabulous NY cheesecake!

We are so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. I have many great memories from working with her at Jones Middle School. Our thoughts and prayers are with her entire family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Nancy and David Evans Upper Arlington, Ohio
