Jean was born June 5, 1937 in Cambridge, Maryland, the daughter of Darcy and Lucille (Bounds) Parella. She married Kenneth Eugene Shaw of Decatur, Illinois. Jean earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Peninsula School of Nursing in Cambridge, Maryland.

Jean is survived by her cousin, Jerri Lynn Bounds and her son Jonathan P. Bounds of Salisbury, Maryland; sister -in-law and brother-in-law: Elizabeth and Bruce Campbell of Decatur; and nieces: Christina Campbell and Lisa Campbell Hein and their children who loved her dearly.
