Jean Mason (nee Stene) of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn passed away peacefully on February 10, 2020 with her family by her side. Beloved wife of Jackie (John) for 63 loving years, Jean is survived by her husband and two sons; Roger and wife Annette, Christopher and his wife Robin.

One of Jean's greatest joys was spending time with her three grandchildren - Sky Rae, Sara Olivia and Taylor John - all of whom cherish the love she offered so generously and the memories they created with their grandmother. Together with her adoring husband, Jean would often be found planning the next adventure for the grandchildren from horseback riding and trips to Coney Island, to trick-or-treating and the annual tradition of baking Christmas cookies.

Jean was born in Brooklyn to Norwegian immigrant parents, Lars and Birgit Stene, on September 16, 1938. She has been a resident of Brooklyn her entire life and after the birth of their sons, the family spent summers in Tarrytown, NY. Tarrytown was a fitting place for Jean as she adored the wildlife and the gardens. She was an avid bird watcher but could often be found curled up with a good book. Most of all, she loved spending time with her children and the friends and family that came to visit.

Jean grew up with her sister Carol Zwerenz and brother Dennis Stene (deceased). She began her professional career as a New York City model and after raising her two boys, she eventually went on to join the family's glass engraving business.
