Georgina "Jean" Accobee, 72, of Naytahwaush, died Feb. 16 at St. Mary's Regional Health Center in Detroit Lakes. She was surrounded by her family and more love than most ever know.
Georgina Sophia Wadena was born to George and Josephine (Guinn) Wadena on Dec. 11, 1935, in Naytahwaush. She grew up and attended school in Warroad, Minn. Jean later attended culinary classes at the Northwest Technical College in Detroit Lakes. Jean married Oliver Accobee in 1955. In 1965, she met John Burnette and they made their home together until his death in 2001.
Jean worked most of her life doing a variety of jobs. She worked many years as a cook for various places. She also spent a number of years making birch bark baskets for Lady Slipper in Cass Lake, Minn. Jean enjoyed playing bingo, keno, card games, ricing and helping anyone who needed help, although, her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her children and grandchildren. They were her pride and joy. Jean loved them all so much and they loved her more than anything.
