Jean Murgatroyd Stiles, died peacefully on Wednesday April 13, 2011 at her home in Ocean Grove. A long time Ocean Grover, Jean began spending her summers in Ocean Grove, as her parents and grandparents had before her. She eventually settled in her family's home full-time after her parents' deaths in 1980. Jean was also professionally active in Ocean Grove as the manager of New Jersey National Bank and a member of the Ocean Grove Businessmen's Association until her retirement in 1988. After her retirement, Jean enjoyed traveling the world with her beloved husband, Gilbert, who predeceased her in 2005. When not traveling, she enjoyed decorating and maintaining her historic home and garden and spending time with her cherished grandchildren. Jean also enjoyed many volunteer activities, such as the St. Paul's Food Bank and the Jersey Shore Women's Club where she was the treasurer for many years.

She is survived by her children; Gilbert, Dianne and Cindy; her granddaughters; Danielle, Rebeccah and Erika; her sister, Barbara, and many nieces, nephews and friends who remember Gilbert and Jean fondly and miss them dearly.
