Jean E. Sawyer

Jean E. Sawyer, 96, went home to be with the Lord on April 7, 2021. She was born November 6, 1924 in Manchester, OH to Lester and Grace Dunn. She and her husband Frank were in the first graduating class of Manchester High School in 1944. She worked in the cafeteria for Manchester Schools, and was a member at Canal Fulton Christian Fellowship and Kingsway Alliance Church, where she was a former Sunday School teacher. She enjoyed golfing, cooking, baking pies, knitting and crocheting, but especially enjoyed being with children.
