Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life.
She was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support
their family alone. Her mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family,
and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her younger siblings. Although she had
 much responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student. She
went on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953.

While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance
in Alamo; and they were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for
each other blossomed and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in
school. At the time, Chuck was serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave
to marry his sweetheart. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea
for the next fifteen months.

Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego
area. To help make ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a
while, before taking a job at the cheese company in Otsego. In 1964, Chuck and Jean were
overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives. Jean
remembered how her mother was always gone so much working after her father died and she
did not want that for her son, so she left her job to devote herself to the role of a mother.

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless,

it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The
difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is
much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.Education knows no limits. It can
take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor.
It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of
informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the
people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas
schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance
conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other
religions.People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive
term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that
should be a necessary part of one’s entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific,
formalized process, whose general pattern varies littlefrom one setting to the next. Throughout
a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught
by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality
that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school
students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political
problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are
clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
