Nan Jean Cashman Lundin passed away from this earth and into the arms of Jesus on June 18, 2015. Jean fought the hard fight for several years with determination and strength.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon L. Cashman and Velma Ritchie Moncure; and grandparents, Randall and Nan Cashman. Her cherished youngest child, Christopher Gary Lundin, also preceded her in death.

She is survived by her beloved husband and soul mate of 55 years, Gary David Lundin. Additionally, she leaves behind daughters, Cathy Lundin Niemeyer and Nancy Marie Lundin; son, David Gregory Lundin (wife Suzy); and her only grandchild, Catherine Elise Niemeyer.

Jean and Gary raised their four children in Meridian, Corinth, Clinton and Brookhaven. They both loved to travel and were well known for rescuing and raising more than 35 dogs over 45 years. Their current dog, Brody, is a fine and beloved example of these rescues.
