 SIDNEY LANIER Class of 1957 - Latest News 10-09-2023 - WE HAVE LOST AN ANGEL Our loss is heavens gain. Jean Parker Colquitt was loved by all of her classmates and friends. Those of us on the Reunion Committee really got to know what a beautiful person Jean was. She enjoyed being on the Committee even though it required a long  drive from her home in Decatur to Montgomery for her husband Larry and later her daughter Carol. On trips to the Dominican Republic in support of the kids there that were supported by her church, she would talk to strangers on the plane, cab drivers, people in the hotel about Christ. She has posted most of all of the thousands of pictures that you see on this website. Along with her friends and classmates, I too will miss her greatly. She has gone to her rightly deserved reward in Heaven. Rest in peace my friend.
