Jean, who always went by her middle name, and was also known as D. Jean Harrick, grew up in Bellevue, and it was at Interlake where she developed her love of horticulture. In the 80s she established a commercial interior plant business called “Ms. Jean’s Greens”, which she ran by herself for decades, all the way up to her retirement. Outside of her love of plants, Jean was a passionate ski instructor at Bellevue Ski School and Husky Winter Sports, and she was also an avid golfer.
Jean passed away peacefully on September 22, 2023, after an eighteen-year fight with multiple sclerosis. She was 67 years old. She is survived by her loving husband of forty-two years, John.
