Grand Valley Mourns the Loss of Jean Kolb
June 19, 2017
Jean began her employment with Grand Valley State University in August 1993 as a Clerical Assistant in the School of Engineering. In October 1995, her title changed to Academic Department Coordinator, and then in January 2001 she transferred to the Seidman College of Business where she retired in June 2014. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for her passion for music, travel, gardening, and the complexity of the human mind and spirit.
A memorial gathering to honor and celebrate Jean's life will be held for friends and family on Saturday, July 8, at the Derby Station, East Grand Rapids, from 3-6 p.m. For those who wish, memorial contributions may be made to the National Parkinson Foundation.
