Jean Remy Flandro
December 19, 1923 - January 21, 2014
Jean was born December 19th, 1923 in Salt Lake City to Dorothy Brown and Lester Remy. She died January 21st, 2014 of congestive heart failure.
She proudly led the Bugle Corp. at Jefferson Elementary and finished her education at South High. On July 30th, 1942 she married Raymond Flandro in San Antonio, Texas. When Ray shipped off for Europe, she returned home and worked at the Remington Arms Plant inspecting the bullets that may very well have ended up in Ray's rifle.
The tailor-quality clothing she sewed for her four daughters included everything from winter coats to swimsuits and doll clothes. Her hand-dipped chocolates were a favorite Christmas treat. Jean was an example of fortitude, responsibility, and sacrifice. She bore many undeserved hardships with grace, love and dignity.
Jean is survived by her daughters Nathlie Cavin and Celia Flandro; sister Ruth Jackson; sons-in-law Rich Cavin and Keith Christison; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Ray; daughter Janice Christison; sister Cleo Nicotera; and brother Mel Remy.
Special thanks to Heidi Lewis and Kathy Fisher.
At Jean's request there will be no funeral.

Celia, I am so sorry your mother is gone. I know you loved her very much. You were an amazing caregiver, spending thousands of hours taking her to doctor's appointments, shopping with her and for her, cleaning her house and just spending precious time with her. Kathy
