Jean has been like a long distance mother to me for 25 years now and it was with great sadness I heard from her good friend Carroll today of her passing. Jean was one of the holiest people I knew no doubt to her time spent with the Lord. She was there for me during triumphs and troughs. I always felt covered by prayer as she used her TAP board in several rooms praying for my family. Her joy and love for all aspects of nature and people was incredible and an example to us all. Reunited with her Gene having numbered the days to the end. Your crown will be shining brightly with stars, thank you for your unconditional love.

Miss Pilkenton taught me when I was in the 5th grade at Matthews Elementary and I'm now 75. I often wondered what had happened to her. She was one of a trio of really good teachers I had at Matthews. If I remember right it snowed every Wednesday in March that year so we would go to school on Monday & Tuesday -- then miss Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We ended up going to school on Saturday and deep into hot June (with no air!)

Me and my fellow students loved her -- we would line up at the door before going home for our daily "good bye kiss". I remember that she loved Jergens hand lotion and everytime I smell it, I think of her.

Sweet, wonderful lady --

Sending thoughts and prayers to her family, as I could not even begin to say enough wonderful things about this sweet lady. She was my son's 4th grade teacher, also a dear neighbor and friend when they lived on Washam Potts Road. She or Gene would bring homework to us to make sure that my son stayed "caught up", if he was out of school (back in the day) and they would stop and check on him. She and her husband Gene were always a great example of what love should be and they taught us all through their sweetness and devotion to each other. I know she missed him so much. He and heaven have surely gained an angel. They do not have teachers or people still around that are as lovely both inside and out as they both were. Angels on earth and in my memory, forever.

Jean, or as many of us knew her, “Nean” or “She Jean,” was one of the most loving and thoughtful people I know. She loved her flowers and birds; she loved others; she loved her children and grandchildren, but most of all, she loved her Gene, or “darling” as she referred to him. Jean kept me when I was a little girl and I have fond memories back to the duplex on 115 in Huntersville across the street near the fire station. Nean was instrumental in Eddie and I dating. And she loved William like her own (trips to Waffle House, Mom’s Restaurant and Eckerds to ride the pony outside the store were regular occurrences). She and “Mr. Gene” taught us what a marriage ought to be like - dancing to Lawrence Welk on Saturday night and counting the days they had been married, quick to tell you how many whenever you asked. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jon, Jennine, Jack and Sally Maxwell. There’s a big celebration in heaven right now.
