Gearhart

Feb. 20, 1925 — Jan. 24, 2015

Jean Ann Weston, 89, passed away peacefully Jan. 24, 2015, at her home in Gearhart, Ore. Jean was born in Glendale, Ariz., Feb. 20, 1925, to Elmer and Delta Mognett.

Her family moved to Tigard, Ore., in 1928, where Jean became a childhood vaudeville star. Jean spent most of her childhood years performing in the Portland area, and was able to earn money necessary to help her family survive the years of the Great Depression.

Jean graduated from Tigard High School and was attending the University of Oregon up until World War II broke out, when she volunteered to leave school, move to San Francisco, and work in the shipyards building ships for the war effort.

After the war Jean moved back to the Portland, Ore., area where she met and married Raymond E. Weston Jr. The newlyweds lived six years in Portland before moving to Spokane, Wash., where their two children, Craig and Kyle, were born. In 1959, Jean’s family moved to Gearhart, Ore., where she became involved with local clubs and organizations and her husband, Raymond, became the pro at the Gearhart Golf Course.

Jean is survived by her two sons, Craig Weston (wife, Dana) and Kyle Weston; grandson, Tyler Weston (wife, Fellicia); and great-grandson, Cooper Raymond Weston. Jean was predeceased by her husband, Raymond, in 1980.

A celebration of Jean’s life will be held at the Astoria Golf & Country Club on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015, at 2 p.m. A private graveside service for the family will be held at Finley’s Sunset Mortuary in Portland.

Contributions in Jean’s memory can be made to Clatsop County United Way, Seaside Kids or the Calvary Episcopal Church of Seaside.
