Imogene "Jean" (Jackson) Flynn

Imogene “Jean” (Jackson) Flynn, 86, of Koleen, Indiana passed away Saturday, August 16th, 2025 at Legacy Living in Jasper, Indiana surrounded by family and friends. Born on June 17, 1939 in Greene County, Indiana to Ale Jackson and Hazel L. (Gillham) Jackson Fuller. Imogene also known as Jean to many of her friends and family, grew up knowing William “Lester” Flynn and they later married on September 2, 1960. They were married over 60 years until his passing January 21, 2021. Jean worked at RCA in Bloomington until her daughter, Teresa, came along at which time she focused on family as a homemaker. Soon thereafter her son, Scott, arrived. Once both Teresa and Scott were in elementary school, Jean went to work as a cook at Eastern Greene School, known for her work ethic, smile and extra helpings. Later, Jean went into retail sales for many years selling shoes, clothing and furniture in downtown Bloomfield until she retired. Jean was a life-long member of the Koleen Union Church accepting Christ as her Savior at a young age. She served the church as secretary and was an active member of the Ladies Aide. She enjoyed taking care of Lester, her children and everyone she met. She was known to keep a spotless home and her cooking and baking, especially her chocolate and coconut cream pies. Surviving relatives include her children, Teresa (Greg) Lehman and William Scott (Ruth Ann) Flynn. Three grandchildren, Michelle (Kyle) Stallings, Tristan (Bryanna) Flynn and Shayden Flynn. Additionally, one great-grandson, Branch Paul Flynn, and soon-to-be arriving great-granddaughter, Everett Jean Flynn. Imogene was preceded in death by her parents, two infant brothers, Benny Ray Jackson and Jackie Lee Jackson, her sister Mary L. Jenkins, brother Richard D. Jackson, nephew Richard A. Jackson and her husband Lester Flynn. We wish to thank the caring staff at Legacy Living Jasper that ministered to Imogene, particularly since Lester’s passing. The one-on-one interactions and community aspect encouraged along with many activities has been a blessing for Imogene and other residents, and also a great thanks to the Heart to Heart Hospice team who were a wealth of information and counsel in Imogene’s last days, ensuring great peace and comfort. Friends and family may call from 11 A.M.to 1 P.M. on Thursday at Jenkins Funeral Home at 421 S Seminary St in Bloomfield, Indiana. Funeral Services will be held at 1:00 P.M. at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Walnut Grove Cemetery in Greene County. The family wishes any memorial donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (https://act.alz.org) in Imogene’s name.
