Jean Kathryn Lee Zignego
1918-2005
Jean Kathryn Lee Zignego, 86, passed away at her home in Miles City on Friday, March 18, 2005, surrounded by her loving family. Jean is survived by her two sisters, seven children, eighteen grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews, and she was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
Jean was born September 21, 1918, as the first of three daughters (sisters Peggy and Jacque) born to Ida and Thomas Lee and grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota. Her adventurous spirit led her to Los Angeles, California, during World War II and eventually a date with a handsome young Navy pilot named Gustaf Joseph Zignego, ‘Zig’. Their wedding on February 4, 1944, in Los Angeles was soon followed by a move to Miles City when Zig purchased the Chrysler dealership.
The next generation began with the birth of their first son, John Lee (fiancée Doreen; Whitefish, MT), in 1946, at which time Jean declared she would never have another because she could not love any child as much as she loved her Lee, who possessed a curious and clever nature. Jean’s love proved limitless with the birth of Judith Ann (Miles City, MT) in 1947, a beautiful girl who shared her mother’s affectionate and sociable side. An everlasting friend and confidant, possessing Jean’s insatiable curiosity, arrived with the birth of Linda Jean (Missoula, MT) in 1948. Good-natured Douglas James (wife Chris; Whitefish, MT), born in 1951 with an appetite to learn, was a constant source of pride and joy. She deeply admired the strength and independence of Robert Joseph (wife Debbie; Miles City, MT), born in 1953. Mary Jill (husband John; Kalispell, MT) was born in 1954 and could always be found at the end of Jean’s apron strings and impressed her mother with her intelligence, warmth, and sociability. Finally, adorable Bruce Jay Gerard (wife Tracey; Vancouver, WA) was born in 1957; Jean’s ‘doll baby’ received her wit and loving support forged in a decade of motherhood.
As Jean’s countless friends will attest, her hospitality was unfailing and her generosity endless. Jean never made friends; Jean always was your friend. We felt as loved by her the day she died as the day each of us came to know her. She shared her home, her life, and her faith with everyone. Her gregarious nature made her an integral part of the Miles City community. Always a faithful member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church she served the Lord and her peers as a member of RSVP, St. Francis Altar Society, and the Catholic Daughters. Past president and volunteer/board member at St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Store until her death, she worked steadfastly to fund the new building where the thrift store currently resides and ensure its success.
Jean possessed a keen wit and impeccably timed sarcasm, practiced in conversation over hands of Bridge. In part, her cleverness came from an insatiable appetite for books. Jean was most known for being to-the-point and honest about how she felt; thus, conversations with her possessed purpose and substance, anointed with good humor. Her humor, warmth, and timeless attitude drew young people to her even in later years. Her days were filled with prayer, discourse with family and friends, and anything sweet, especially chocolate.
She was a devoted mother till the end of her days. What's more, she found the energy to love and support each of her eighteen grandchildren: Scott, Andrea, James David, Shea, Brittnea, Erika, Rory, Zachary, Matthew, Clint, Jessika, Nicholas, Casey, Jay, Jordan, Donny, Katie and Ellie; and three great-grandchildren: Cree, Hunter and Taylor. She instilled in them her principles of family and generosity. Her steadfastness and understanding allowed the family to weather crises and grow together. It is through decades of Jean’s love that the family can weather this crisis now. Besides making sisterhood, motherhood, and grandmotherhood look easy, Jean managed to be every family members’ best friend and counselor. Jean is now in heaven, finally reunited with Zig after sixteen years apart and waiting for the rest of us to join her in paradise after living a life as full as hers.
