JEAN F. MOHR, OF LINCOLN, DIED MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2010 AT HER LINCOLN HOME. SHE WAS THE BELOVED WIFE OF JOHN JACK J. MOHR. JEAN FIELD MOHR, JEAN FRANCES, JEAN, LUCKY, BUTCH, MOM, BIG GRANDMA, AUNT JEAN. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE NAMES SHE WAS CALLED. JEAN WAS ALSO CALLED FRIEND, CONFIDANT, VOLUNTEER, HELPER, ACCOMPLISHED GARDENER, MASTER CHEF AND, LOVER. KNOWN, RESPECTED AND LOVED BY MANY, FEARED BY A FEW. MOM WAS ALL OF THESE. BORN ON SEPTEMBER 20TH 1927, JEANS YOUNGER LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SUMMERS SPENT AT THE NEW JERSEY SHORE, WITH THE WIRE-HAIRED FOX TERRIERS HER FAMILY RAISED IN TOW. RAISED DURING THE DEPRESSION, HER FAMILY HAD A GARDEN IN THE BACKYARD, CHICKENS THAT WERE HER BROTHER FRANKS JOB TO TEND AND A SMALL FISH POND. MOM TOLD US STORIES OF THE BEGGARS THAT WOULD COME ASKING FOR FOOD AND HOW HER DAD SAID THEY HAD TO STAY OFF OF THE PORCH SO THAT HIS FAMILY WOULD REMAIN SAFE. AND HOW ONCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR STARTED THEY COULD NO LONGER HAVE FIRES AT THE BEACH AND THEIR WINDOWS WOULD HAVE TO BE KEPT COVERED SO THAT NO ENEMY BOATS THAT MIGHT BE OUT AT SEA WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THEM TO GUIDE THEIR SOLDIERS IN. ON LATER ON CAME COLLEGE, SOMETHING THAT HER DADS FRIENDS SAID WAS A WASTE FOR A GIRL SHED JUST GET MARRIED AND NEVER USE HER DEGREE. MY MOM USED HER DEGREE ALL HER LIFE. MOMS FIRST YEAR AT WELLESLEY WAS SPENT TRYING TO BECOME THE CHEMISTRY MAJOR HER FATHER WANTED HER TO BE. HE LATER LET HER SWITCH TO HER TRUE LOVE, PSYCHOLOGY. JEAN GRADUATED FROM WELLESLEY IN THE CLASS OF 49, A WELLESLEY SCHOLAR. MOM AND DAD MET ON A BLIND DATE AND FOR DAD IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. HIS FRIENDS COUNSELED HIM AGAINST GETTING INVOLVED WITH SUCH A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN, BUT FOR DAD SHE WAS THE PERFECT MATCH. THEY WERE MARRIED SEPTEMBER 1ST, 1950. MOM STARTED HER VOLUNTEER WORK AT A MENTAL HOSPITAL. WHEN THEY MOVED TO KENTUCKY MOM STARTED A GIRL SCOUT TROOP. SHE TAUGHT THE GIRLS HOW TO PROPERLY TRENCH A TENT BUT HER BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WITH HER TROOP, I BELIEVE, WAS TEACHING THE GIRLS TO SWIM. MANY PEOPLE DROWNED IN THE KENTUCKY QUARRIES AND MOM DECIDED SHE COULD HELP. WHEN HER TROOP CAME FOR THEIR FIRST LESSON IN A POOL, THEIR MOMS ALL CAME TOO AND MUCH TO JEANS SURPRISE FOLLOWED THEIR DAUGHTERS INTO THE WATER AND LEARNED TO SWIM ALONGSIDE THEM. IT WAS IN KENTUCKY THAT THEIR FIRST DAUGHTER BONNIE JEAN WAS BORN. SHORTLY THEREAFTER JEAN AND JACK MOVED BACK TO MASSACHUSETTS AND SETTLED IN ACTON WHERE THEY HELPED FOUND THE YOUNG PEOPLES CHURCH. MOM JOINED THE ACTON GARDEN CLUB, WHERE SHE SERVED ON MANY COMMITTEES INCLUDING VOLUNTEERING ARRANGING FLOWERS ON THE PSYCH FLOOR AT EMERSON HOSPITAL. A SECOND GIRL, HEATHER ANN, WAS BORN AND JEAN CONTINUED VOLUNTEERING BY TEACHING MUSIC AT THE CO-OP PRESCHOOL IN ACTON. AFTER SPENDING THE SUMMER OF 1970 HELPING FELL TREES AND DRAGGING BRUSH ON A LOT IN LINCOLN, THE FAMILY MOVED INTO THEIR NEW HOUSE THERE IN 1971. THE PARTY HOUSE AS IT BECAME KNOWN, WA S FREQUENTLY FILLED WITH LOVED ONES AND LAUGHTER. JEANS FAMOUS KENTUCKY BURGOO WAS SERVED AT DERBY DAY AND SAUERBRATEN AT OKTOBERFEST. SHE CONTINUED WITH HER GARDENING, HELPING TO REVIVE THE LINCOLN GARDEN CLUB WHILE MAINTAINING HER MEMBERSHIP IN THE ACTON CLUB. A LARGE GARDEN TOOK SHAPE BEHIND THE POOLROOM AND WE ALL ENJOYED HER FRESH VEGGIES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. WHEN GRANDSONS ROBERT AND JOHN WERE BORN, JEAN WAS READY. READY TO HELP OUT WHEN NEEDED, BUT NEVER OVERSTEPPING. SHE GAVE ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS AND SANG LULLABIES TO HELP SOOTHE. JEANS LOVE OF MUSIC CONTINUES ON IN THEM. SUMMERS AT THE BEACH IN WEST DENNIS, TRIPS TO DISNEY WORLD, SAILING WITH FRIENDS, LISTENING TO THE SYMPHONY. GARDENING, COOKING, ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYING TIME SPENT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
