Obituary of Jean Lamborn

Jean Currie Watt was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 21, 1928. She was the daughter of the late John Watt and the late Jean Fleming (Douglas) Watt. After marrying Bruce K. Lundquist they made their home in Dearborn and Jean became a homemaker. Jean took these responsibilities very seriously and after Bruce's passing she became even more devoted to her children. She faithfully attended Dearborn Chapel with her family. Jean was a great mother with a strong faith in an omnipotent God and she was the spiritual leader of the family after her husband's death, instilling in her children the importance of relying on the Lord. She often read her Bible and taught Sunday School. Jean married Harry Lamborn and she would make her home in Port Sanilac for thirty years. Jean was very welcoming, generous, friendly, and loving. She loved to help others. In Port Sanilac she worked with the VFW and the area Commission on Aging. She faithfully delivered Meals on Wheels no matter the weather. For enjoyment she would "lunch out" and socialize with church friends. She moved to Monroe six years ago. Jean age 84 passed away at 10:40pm, Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at Fountain View of Monroe.
