Jean A. Owen, age 83 of Goshen and of Sarasota, FL, passed away at The Waters of Syracuse on Friday, December 16, 2022 at 2:45 p.m.

Born in Goshen on November 16, 1939, Jean was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Dena (Larimer) Moser. She was a graduate of Millersburg High School and spent her formative years in the area. She was married to Robert L. Owen in 1959; they later divorced, and he preceded her in passing in 2014.
