She so enjoyed her 10 years of girlhood dance lessons. Piano lessons stayed with Jean and she enjoyed playing the organ and piano all through her life. On September 16, 1950, Jean was united in marriage to Henry Grosek. The couple enjoyed 51 years together until Henry's passing in 2001. Volunteering was a way of life in the Grosek family. Jean volunteered many years at area nursing homes and also helped at St. Pius Catholic Church with various events. A real love was helping out at St. Vincent de Paul in Appleton for over 30 years. The couple enjoyed 51 years of faith, love, happiness, and fun until Henry's passing in 2001.
