A private family celebration of life for Jean Howell, 72, of Rowlett, Texas will be held this Saturday, January 14th. Jean was surrounded by her family when she went to be with the Lord, on January 3, 2023.

Jean was born March 19, 1950, in Kilgore, Texas to J. V. and Billirene Ware. Jean was a member of a multi-generational family of musicians. In East Texas she was known as part of the “Singing Ware Sisters.” Their family were longtime members of the Forest Home Baptist Church where they were active in the choir.

She married Jerry Howell May 29, 1988. Jean and her husband Reverend Dr. Jerry Howell co-pastored Destiny Christian Center of Garland, Texas for nearly 30 years.

Jean’s greatest joy was being a mom to her two children, Randi and Brandon and a dedicated and loving wife to her husband Jerry. Her highest accomplishment was being considered “A Granny of all Granny’s” to her six grandchildren. Jean was a devoted woman of God who enjoyed serving and encouraging all who crossed her path.
