Born in Burtonsville, MD February 14, 1934, daughter of the late John Edward and Eunice (Holland) Wootten, she grew up in MD and lived in Winchester, VA prior to moving to Wolfeboro 20 years ago. Jean graduated from Western Maryland College with a BA in music. She worked at Fort Meade as a secretary prior to her marriage.
