Jean was born February 5, 1922 in Shreveport, Louisiana. She and her husband, Lt. Col. Arthur A. Durante, a retired United States Air Force veteran, lived in Slidell, Louisiana for over thirty years. While there, she was a member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church and an active member of the Aldersgate UMC Care Team. In 2002, Jean and Art returned to Savannah where they had resided during his military service at Hunter Air Force Base. Jean, a wartime bride, was always proud of her husband's decorated military service during World War II and she was a patriotic supporter of all U.S. Servicemen wherever she was. Upon their return to Savannah, the couple became members of Wilmington Island United Methodist Church. Jean had many interests and loved to socialize with friends. She was an avid bowler for many years and she enjoyed spending the summers in the cool high country of New Mexico with family members. Jean was preceded in death by her loving husband of sixty-one years and her youngest son, Byron Lee Durante.
