Jean Ellen Parker passed away on April 29, 2020, from ovarian cancer at Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine where she was born on Dec. 9, 1956.

Jean grew up in Scarborough, Maine, and was known for her big heart and great sense of humor.

She graduated from Scarborough High school and took part in school plays. She worked at what once was Bayleys Lobster Pound during summer vacations. She also worked for Maine National Bank, the Dunstan School Restaurant and Hannaford.

She attended the University of Maine at Fort Kent for teaching and the University of New England for nursing.

She had a love for the elderly and later worked as a CNA at Springbrook and the Maine Veteran’s home.

Her biggest joy in life was her partner Walter and their son Charles Cogswell, who she was so proud of.
