Jean was born July 31, 1931, in El Reno to Wilbur Reuben and Glenda Opal (Duncan) Anderson and passed away peacefully June 14, 2021, in El Reno with her family by her side.
Jean grew up in El Reno and graduated from El Reno High School in 1949. On July 31, 1949, she married Malvin David McBee at her parents' home in El Reno. After the birth of their two sons, they moved to Oklahoma City in 1957. Following her love of helping others, Jean worked in food service for the Oklahoma City school system. In May 2001, she became a proud volunteer for Integris Southwest Medical Center, where she helped those in ICU waiting. There, she was a board member and chairman of the calling committee. After serving over 8,000 hours, she was made an Honorary Volunteer in November 2018 after she was no longer able to physically volunteer. In her spare time, she enjoyed crocheting baby caps for newborns.
For a number of years, Jean was the pianist at McKinley Avenue Baptist Church. After the church closed, she became a devoted member of Southwest Baptist Church.
Malvin preceded her in death in 1995 followed by her sons, Willie McBee in 2011 and Martin McBee in 2012. Ever a woman of faith and having always given her heart and trust to the Lord, we're sure Jean is in Heaven reading them the riot act about leaving us too soon. Also preceding her in death is grandson, Lance McBee; her parents; brother, Allen Anderson; and sisters, Phyllis Burton and Glenda Hale.
Jean is survived by her daughter-in-law, Bonnie McBee of El Reno; grandchildren, Gina Wilkerson and husband, John, of El Reno; Scott McBee and wife, Becca, of El Reno; Keri Haines and husband, Merlin, of Enid; great-grandchildren, Meghan, Lynn and Colt (fiancée, Sayde McConnell) Wilkerson; Steven and David McBee; Logan and Jace Haines; sisters, Charleece McBee and Joan Herr; as well as a large extended family and numerous friends, way too many to count.
Jean truly loved giving to others. With that in mind, memorial donations can be given to Integris Foundation, with Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home acting as custodian of the fund.
