Jean Ann was raised in Hardtner, Kansas, and graduated with the class of 1970. She then attended college at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. On January 29, 1972, she was united in marriage to Ivan Delvis Rose at the Methodist Church in Hardtner. They made their home in Alva where they raised their three children, Audra, Jason and Annalisa.
