T. Jean Jordan, 88, died Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at Spring Arbor senior care community in Winchester, VA.

Jean is survived by her children, Michael T. Jordan, and Kristin (John) Moore, both of Winchester, two grandchildren; Ryan (Chelsea) Moore and Landon (Rosemary) Moore, and seven great-grandchildren; Oliver, Amelia, Henry, Charlotte, Margot, Agatha, and Vivienne.

She is also survived by her sisters Judith Barnes, Linda (Gene) Hendricks, and brother Donald (Carol) Hafer, and various nieces and nephews.

Jean was predeceased by her loving husband, Thomas P. Jordan, her parents: Paul E. Hafer and Irene J. (Lemley) Hafer, one brother Darrell Hafer, in-laws Clarence and Mabel Jordan, brother-in-law Jimmy Barnes, sister-in-law Joan Hafer, and great-grandchild Frances Moore.

Born on October 22, 1937, in Wetzel County, WV., Jean grew up in Baltimore during World War II, and later in Hyattsville, MD. In the 1950s, Jean’s family moved to Sterling, VA., where she graduated from Loudoun County High School in 1957. She married the love of her life, Tom, that same year; a marriage of passion and faith that endured for 63 years.

In 1963, Tom & Jean purchased their first home in Vienna, VA, where the young family lived until 1978.

After raising her two children, Jean entered Northern Virginia Community College and graduated with a nursing degree in 1976. Her 35-year career took her to hospitals and medical centers all over the Washington, DC region, including Sibley Memorial Hospital, Inova Fairfax, Kaiser Permanente, and Loudon Memorial Hospital. Jean finished up her health care career as a school nurse and physical therapist.

Tom & Jean moved back to where they met, living in Leesburg, VA, for over 30 years. They retired in 2012 in Winchester.

Jean was well known for her devout Christian faith. She was also highly regarded for her gardening, decorating, cooking, and as an accomplished creative artist, from realism style paintings to found objects.

Jean loved, nurtured, and guided her family with every fiber of her being. She will be deeply missed and remembered as a shining inspiration to them for the rest of their lives.

We miss our sister dearly but we know she is healed in Heaven and with Jesus. She was a strong woman of faith who loved the Lord and her family. She endured much and never gave up. We have many special memories and lots of crafts she (and Tommy) made. We love you and will see you again one day!

My sister & I talked almost everyday, I encouraged her to never give up with the parkinson's she was living with.she was a great artist could draw & paint anything. When her hand's were shaking much more, she would say I have to give up what I love & I would tell her I will find a way for you to paint again. I called her and told her to put q-tips together put in paint & pounce to make flower's and also use cotton ball. I said did you ever paint rock's try it & boy did she. She called me ( thank you so much.love you. Judy

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
