Jean's sister Joan provided the following information:

Jean is survived by her sons Danni and Assen, sisters Joan and Susan, brothers Jim and Bob, many cousins, nephews, nieces,great-nephews and great-n ieces.

Jean entered Ringling Bros. Circus after graduating from Monte Vista high as a showgirl. She traveled with the circus for a few years where she met her future husband Georgi Yordanov. After their marriage, they had a son Assen born in Napa California where her mother resided. They resided in Florida near the headquarters of Ringling Bros. and traveled with the company for a few more years. They then returned to her husband’s hometown of Sofia, Bulgaria where they had another son Danni. When the boys were old enough, they formed their own troup of acrobats and traveled extensively throughout Europe until Jean became too ill to work any longer. They would return to the states every couple of years to visit with family. She is greatly missed by all of her family and was too young to leave us.
