Jean was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend; she held part time jobs as a nursery school teacher and as the secretary for her husband’s business, Frost Marine, which was the oldest Johnson Outboard Motor and Boston Whaler and Chris Craft Dealer in the United States. She and her husband retired to Florida in 1996.
Jean loved her garden, cooking and entertaining for friends and family. She volunteered as a Sunday school teacher at Woodford’s Congregational Church. The Frost family enjoyed fond memories skiing at Sugarloaf and snowmobiling in Eustis. They spent their summers on Little Sebago Lake and Casco Bay. They also enjoyed their time cruising the ocean in Florida and their trips to the Keys. Jean loved her animals including her dog, Annika and her cat, Lillie.
She is survived by her two daughters; Kimberly J. Frost Kinsman and her husband Edward of Scarborough and Jennifer A. Frost Caron and her husband Gary also of Scarborough.
