She was born March 10, 1928 to Norvell and Lillian Haggard and married Vernon Wilson Langley on November 29, 1946 in Big Spring. They enjoyed forty years of marriage and running their family cotton farm until he preceded her in death October 29, 1987. She then married Leslie Kelley in April of 1993 and moved to Lubbock to be closer to her family. He passed away August 10, 1997. She was a faithful member of South Park Baptist Church.

Jean never met a stranger, always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye; she had a strong work ethic and a servant’s heart. Jean showed her love of her family by her dedicated attendance at all of their events, near or far. Her faith and positive attitude were an inspiration to many.
