Jean M. Martin, 82, a lifelong Brookston resident, passed away at 3:27 a.m. Thursday, January 25, 2018 at St. Mary’s Healthcare of Lafayette.

Jean was born September 8, 1935 in Brookston to the late Everett W. and Edith K. (Stockton) Christopher. She was a 1954 graduate of Battle Ground High School and a 1978 graduate of the Indiana Business College.

In 1956 she married Ross Martin at Badger Grove Community Baptist Church.

Jean worked in the address department of the Purdue University Alumni Association from 1978 until retiring in 2003.

She was an active member of the Badger Grove Community Baptist Church and enjoyed singing in the choir. Jean always enjoyed the closeness of the Badger Church and the long lasting friendships that came from it. Jean was a wonderful example of how to live as a Christian. She was always humble, appreciative and thankful, ever concerned about others more than herself. She had a quiet strength about her as she battled lifelong health issues. A true prayer warrior, she had a notebook by her chair listing all the people she prayed for on a daily basis.

Surviving are two sons, Charles E. Martin (wife: Debbie) of Greenhill and Scot E. Martin (wife: Cindy) of Brookston and her sister, Carolyn Greene (husband: Don). Jean loved spending time with her family especially her grandchildren, Abby Strickland (husband: Scott), Randy Martin (wife: Megan), Evan Martin (wife: Kaila) and Nathan Grogan (wife: Renee) and her 7 great-grandchildren.

Preceding her in death with her parents are two brothers, Herbert L. and Donald D. Christopher.
