Choosing Care & Community
Jean Theiss was born on August 30, 1943, in St. Louis, Missouri. She grew up in Bismarck and later lived in Owensville before making her home at Baptist Homes of Arcadia Valley.
Jean was married for 20 years and is the proud mother of one son, Carl. Her family has continued to grow over the years, and she is now blessed with four grandchildren. While she has worked many jobs throughout her life, Jean shares that her most cherished roles have always been being a wife, mother, and grandmother.
Before moving to Baptist Homes, Jean was living with her son and daughter-in-law. Wanting to give them their privacy back while also recognizing her need for additional care, she made the decision to move to Baptist Homes of Arcadia Valley.
Jean has embraced this new chapter with a positive and active spirit. She enjoys swimming, bowling, bingo, dancing, and exercising, and stays involved in many activities throughout the community. Her outgoing personality and love for staying active have helped her quickly feel at home.
In her own words, Jean shared, “I think I did the right thing to come to Baptist Homes. The staff are so nice, and the residents are just as nice. I’ve gotten close to a couple of ladies here and I’m still making friends.”
We are grateful to have Jean as part of our Baptist Homes family and are thankful for the joy, energy, and warmth she brings to our community.
