Jean O. Slaughter, age 79, of Middletown, DE, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 8, 2015.
Born in Townsend, DE on August 16, 1935, Jean was a daughter of the late Delbert Webber and Clara A. Hadley Webber.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years and the love of her life, Burnice C. “Bun” Slaughter; son, Chris Slaughter (LeAnn); very special and cherished granddaughter, Lauren Jean Slaughter; 3 godchildren; several nieces and nephews; and her favorite feline companion, Jack.
