POLLICK, Jean Marie (Young) of Oakley, age 84 passed away on Monday, September 30, 2019 at  Shiawassee Hospice Home in Owosso after a brief illness.
 
Jean was born February 21, 1935 in Saginaw to the late Peter and Louise (Bannan) Young.  She graduated 1953 from Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Chesaning.  She completed two years at St. Mary's School of Nursing in Saginaw.  She married Stephen H.

Jean worked for American Records in Owosso for five years before working for the Chesaning Union School District from 1973 to 1996. Her strength was an amazing example for those around her and her personality was as bold and fiery as her red hair. Her faith in God and commitment to family was undeniable.  Jean was a true matriarch of her family and was the glue that held her extended families together,  organizing reunions as often as possible. Family time always included card games, Rummikub, Five Crowns and puzzles. Her love also extended to her community and many organizations throughout her lifetime including the Red Hats Society where she served as Co-Queen of her group organizing many monthly functions.  Jean organized a monthly breakfast group of retired support staff from the school, and also enjoyed her Bunco group.  Jean served as the President of the Support Staff Union for the Chesaning Union Schools for 10 years and served on the Oakley Village council for several years helping to organize the Oakley Brady Harvest Festival which she chaired for 8 years.
