Jean (Davis) Haas, age 73, longtime resident of Guilford, beloved wife of James Haas (predeceased) for more than 45 years, passed away peacefully on April 7. Born in Monticello, Minnesota, to Leonard and Margaret (Braun) Davis, Jean moved to Connecticut shortly after graduation from St. Mary’s Nursing School in Minneapolis to work at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Jean is survived by her children Michael (Kristin) Haas, Brian (Andrea) Haas, and Lesley Haas, as well as six grandchildren. She loved her sister Marge Hoffer, and brothers Richard Davis, Leonard Davis, Vincent Davis, Joe Davis, Patrick Davis, and John Davis (predeceased), all of Phoenix, Arizona. Locally, she leaves her dear sister (-in-law) Mimi (Brian) Morrissey.

Jean was a proud and diligent nurse whose career spanned four decades at Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Visiting Nurse Association (Branford), Old Saybrook Schools, and SARAH, all while raising her family and supporting Jim in his various business endeavors.

Among her other endearing attributes, Jean will be remembered as a zealous hockey mom and ardent UConn basketball fan. She loved weekends with friends at the Indian Neck Yacht Club, and long chats with her sister Marge. Jean is happy to be with the Lord and with Jim again.
