Jean Marie Ratliff peacefully departed this life surrounded by family and close friends on August 3, 2017 following a brief and brave battle with cancer.
Jean’s smile will truly be missed. She was a charming and selfless person always bringing joy to those around her.

Rice Company in Manassas as a bookkeeper for over 50 years. When not working, she loved spending time with her family and friends, reading and traveling.

She is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Larry Ratliff; daughters Angie Ratliff (Art Starbird) and Dara Ratliff; grandchildren Cole and Callie Starbird; her sister Gracie Pollack and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A celebration of life will be planned for a later date. Interment to be private.
