D. Jean Line

D. Jean Line, age 83, of Boiling Springs, passed away Friday, December 16, 2016 at her home with her loving husband by her side.
She was born in Altoona on July 13, 1933 to the late Earl and Mabel Hammann.
Jean was an active member of the community, working for 32 years in the South Middleton School District, most recently as secretary of the W. G. Rice Elementary School. She regularly volunteered at the polls and was a member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Boiling Springs where she participated in a quilting group. Jean enjoyed helping her husband in the garden and was an incredible seamstress and baker, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful quilts and delicious pies. Jean's Boiling Springs home, like her heart, was always open and welcomed a constant stream of family and friends. She will be remembered most of all for her playful smirk and her endless generosity.

Line, and their six children: Gregory Line, Michael Line, Stephanie (Peter) Bolger, Douglas (Betty) Line, Laurette (Ted) Smith and Kathleen (Ken Harm) Bixler.
