At 68 years old she placed 9th at the American Quarter Horse Amateur World Show and she continued showing horses until 77 years of age.

There was no stopping Jean, she competed in eight transcontinental and international air races such as the Power Puff Derby. In 1998 at age 75, Jean made some aviation history. She took a flight review and flew the Air Race Classic with her daughter and grand-daughter to be the first triple generation of women to compete as a team in cross country air racing.
