Jean is described by her family as being caring, giving, and genuine. She was a LPN and worked at both Methodist Hospital and Yalobusha County Nursing Home. She was very faithful in her walk with God and a proud member of Sylva Rena Baptist Church. In 1993, she went on a Mission Trip to Honduras, proudly serving the community there. She thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her church family and helping wherever she was needed. In her spare time, Jean often enjoyed gardening, reading her Bible, and visiting with the folks at the Yalobusha County Nursing Home, every Sunday. Many of the community members referred to her as “Aunt Jean” and a “good friend.” Her sweet spirit and friendship will be missed by all.

Jean is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Sprouse Smith, of Nesbit; her grandchildren, Billy (Tabitha) Smith and Bobby (Melissa) Smith; her great-grandchildren, Hunter Smith, Olivia Smith, and Audrey Smith; her sister, Joan Carlini (Dale) Rowsey; her sister-in-law, Diane Crosby Carlini; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Sprouse; her parents, Jim McCullar and Nelia Carlini; and her siblings, Nick Carlini, Jimmy Carlini, and Judy Carlini Mills.
