Jean was the beloved wife of the late Charles H. Taylor Jr.

Born in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, Jean was the daughter of the late Fred F. Lininger Ph.D. and Mildred Tobias Lininger and sister of the late Fred T. Lininger.

Jean was the first girl in State College, PA to become an Eaglet Girl Scout. She spent summers as a teenage Girl Scout Counselor on the waterfront at Camp Baree. Later she became the leader of a Girl Scout troop in Philadelphia. She earned her degree from Penn State University and taught Home Economics at Millersburg High School and later served as a substitute teacher in the Philadelphia School District.
