Jean A. (Blashfield) Hall, age 100, of Tekonsha, beloved mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away on Sunday, September 25, 2022, at Comfort Care of Marshall in the loving care of her family.

Jean was born August 13, 1922, to Floyd A. and Iva M. (Shafer) Blashfield on her parent’s farm in Clarendon Township. She grew up on the farm attending Pritchard School and graduating from Tekonsha High School in 1940.

She was married to Herbert Hall Jr. in 1942. Herbert entered the U.S. Army to serve in WW2 the following October. He returned home to Jean and Tekonsha after his honorable discharge where the couple enjoyed a loving and fruitful marriage. Herbert preceded her in death in 1968.

Jean’s first employment was at Randall Products in Tekonsha.  When Herbert entered the Army, she went to work at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek for three years then worked at Oaklawn Hospital. Jean then worked at the office of Dr.’s Taylor and Daly in Albion and after that at Drs. Finch, Morrison, McQuaig and Young in Battle Creek. She finished her career working at Eaton Corporation from where she retired in 1986.

Jean enjoyed time with her grandchildren, gardening, reading, needlework, and baking.  She was famous for her caramel corn, Christmas cookies and candy!
