Barbara “Jean” Leed, 7567 E. 7B Road, Plymouth, died Sunday, December 25, 2005, following an extended illness, in Memorial Hospital, South Bend.
She will be greatly missed for her unselfishness and her desire to please everyone. She always gave loving guidance to her family and friends and could be counted on for her loyalty and support.
At her death, Jean was 65-years-old, having been born on April 24, 1940, in Sycamore, Ohio, the daughter of Thomas William and Kathryne “Ninny” Roach Hall.
A 1958 graduate of Rutledge High School, she attended the University of Tennessee on a basketball scholarship.

An ambitious, energetic woman, she worked at Ristance Wire in Bremen, was a waitress in the late 80s and early 90s at Story’s Restaurant in Plymouth and retired in 2003 from Universal Bearings in Bremen.
Jean loved to cook and was honored for her expertise by The South Bend Tribune. She was especially fond of the holidays, being with her family and her grandbabies.
She loved to read, work cross-word puzzles and was devoted to the entire family. They were her special concern, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
She was an avid University of Tennessee fan, especially of the women’s basketball program.
Surviving Jean is Harvey, her husband of 32 years and their 8 children.
Her children are:, Randall and Colleen Gaines, South Bend, Ind.; Bill and Gina Gaines, Plymouth, Ind.;; Regina and Scott Kaser, LaPaz, Ind.; Autumn Leed, Argos, Ind.; Cody and Shana Leed, Argos, Ind.. She is also survived by three step- children; Kim and Rick Smith Walkerton, Ind.; Tracy Leed, LaPaz, Ind.; Shane and Shelli Leed, Plymouth, Ind.

A great-grandchild, Braxton Leed, survives as well. A sister, Nancy K. Gaby, Mishawaka, Ind., also survives her death.
