She attended Russell High School for grades 1 through 8 and then Wilson Adult Education High School in Long Beach, California, for grades 9 through 12. She went on the Long Beach City College in California where she studied Early Childhood Education in 1987. She was baptized in 1991 at Bethany Presbyterian Church in Grant’s Pass, Oregon.
Jean was united in marriage on November 8, 1964 to Arnold Modtland and to this union, three children were born, Arnie M., Renae and Jeannie. They moved to California in 1965 where Jean did daycare in her home prior to her divorce in 1980. She was a certified daycare provider in California. She then obtained her High School Diploma in 1986 and attended college in California. In 1989, she moved to Grant’s Pass, Oregon, and then back to Vesta in 2000.

She was a proud member of the First Presbyterian Church in Redwood Falls since October 2005.

She was a truly nurturing person and she will be deeply missed.

(and Cheyenne) Modtland of Vesta, Renae (and Marc) Nelson of Big Lake, Alaska, and Jeannie (Derrick) Green of Marshall; nine grandchildren, Sarah, Michael, and Christopher Modtland, Michael Brock, Tony, Travis, Casey, Jocelyn, and Jamie Modtland; great grandchild, Gerry Modtland; sister, Joanne Wilson of Redwood Falls; three brothers, Butch (and Sharon) of Buffalo, Jack (and Marilyn) of Gladstone, Missouri, and Larry Zvorak of Marshall; stepfather, Lloyd Sanders of Belview; sister-in-law, Phyllis Zvorak of Ellendale, North Dakota; also many other relatives and friends.
