Cora Jean, affectionately known as “Jean Baby” attended Westfield High School in Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from Westfield in May 1968. 

Jean Baby was a home body.  When her brother Charley James moved back to Mulga from Detroit, Michigan, Jean was elated. She loved having her big brother Charley James back home. 

Jean Baby was a long time member of Shady Grove Baptist Church, where she attended since childhood.

Jean was raised with a strong since of love for her family.
