Dorado and worked for the Exchange Drug Store and Larry's Rexall for a
combined tenure of 59 years before retiring in March of 2006.  She was a
long standing member of the St. Paul Methodist Church in El Dorado before
moving to Memphis in the care of her daughter, Debby, as she became ill.
Jean was also very active as a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Ladies Auxiliary and the most avid of Arkansas Razorbacks fans.
She is survived by her daughter, Deborah Pagano and son-in-law, Paul
Pagano of Memphis, TN and her son, Richard Barley and daughter-in-law
