Jean Binford, 97, passed away on April 25, 2021. She attended the University of Colorado Boulder and received her Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Wichita State University. Jean and her family relocated to Arizona in 1960. Jean worked initially for the dean of the Engineering School at ASU, but her heart was in being a full-time homemaker. She and her husband, Charles, formed the Coolidge Children's Choir, a touring singing troupe of over 100 children from Coolidge, Arizona.

Jean is survived by her daughter, two grandchildren and scores of dear friends and extended family. A contribution to your local Boys and Girls Club and/or animal shelter would honor her legacy. (Source: Arizona Republic)
