Jean married Leo Alan Keiser on June 23, 1972 in Bristol, SD.  They were blessed with two children, Michele and Rhonda.

Jean was a devout Catholic and was very active in her church.  She was a Sunday School teacher, she sang in the choir, was a past member of Catholic Daughter's, and volunteered for numerous church functions.  Jean was fortunate to be involved with the Knights of Columbus through Leo's membership.  They attended 33 consecutive state conventions and were privileged to represent South Dakota at 8 Supreme conventions throughout the United States.

Jean was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother always ensuring everyone had everything they needed, all their sewing repairs completed, and no one went hungry.  She took many trips with her eldest grandson Austin, and enjoyed being able to help raise him throughout his childhood. She also took great pride in putting together t-shirt quilts and attending sporting events for her younger two grandsons, Alek and Carson.  Jean was an avid sports fan cheering on the local high school teams and the Minnesota Vikings.  She loved to spend time with family and friends, read, spend time on her iPad, and travel.  She was proud to say she had been to 43 states.
