HAYCOCK, JEAN M. Age 85, died on October 27, 2012. She was born on July 9, 1927 in Ludington, Michigan to Ivan H. and Mary Madeline Hamilton. She was preceded in death by her husband Glenn M Haycock. She is survived by son Scott Haycock; daughter Beth Jones and husband Paul, all of Albuquerque; granddaughter Heather Norton and three great-grandchildren; as well as numerous friends who loved her and will miss her. Prior to her retirement, Jean worked at Sandia Labs and the Bernalillo County Treasurer's Office. In 1949, Jean moved to Albuquerque from Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her mother. She met Glenn through mutual friends, and they married in 1957. She loved spending time with both of her children, and maintained a close relationship with them until her death. Jean was an avid dog lover and always had much-loved canine companions to keep her company. She was an active bridge player, playing with the same group of friends for 50 years. She was also a quilter, and loved reading and watching old classic movies. She loved to travel, usually with her cousin Pat, and cherished her memorable trips to Scotland, England, Norway and other far-flung places. She was famous for her fudge, and friends always looked forward to receiving their annual Christmas gift of Jean's mouth-watering homemade fudge. But above all, Jean was best known for her gregarious nature, her quick wit and ready laughter, and her keen, carefree enjoyment of living. She will be sorely missed by family and friends alike. Cremation has already taken place. Burial will be at Santa Fe National Cemetery; date and time to be determined. There are no plans at present for a memorial service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Jean's memory to either the American Macular Degeneration Foundation (www.macular.org) or to the Animal Humane Association (www. animalhumanenm.org) would be appreciated by the family.
