Survived by her husband of 39 years Jeffrey Nestor, her children Joshua (Michelle) Nestor, Jessica

Dolores Nestor, her brother-in-law Tony Gregory, her sister-in-law Diane Nestor and her niece Laura

Nestor. Jean was a graduate of Lockport Township High School. She married Jeffrey in 1984 and began

her family. Jean and Jeff were heavily involved in many facets of ministry at First Assembly of God, Joliet,

where they formed a true love of Christ and many lifelong friendships. Jean worked as a caregiver for

DHS but her caregiving nature did not stop at work, she cared for countless family and friends

throughout the years. Jean gave of herself tirelessly always putting others needs before her own. Even in

death, Jean is still giving as she donated her body to science in an effort to give back. Jean loved to

garage sale and had aspirations of finding unique glassware to create lawn ornaments to give to others

to beatify their yards, but she was too busy taking care of others that there was never enough time to

craft. Jean was also very family oriented, spending time with them brought her great joy and peace. Jean

was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend but above all, Jean was a Christian, her

devotion to Christ and her acts of mercy is what she will be most remembered for. Visitation for Jean

will take place on Tuesday, August 1, 2023 from 3-7:00P.M. Funeral service will take place the same

evening at 7:00P.M. with Pastor Wayne Nestor officiating. Arrangements entrusted to Farkas Funeral
