Sending prayers to the Shine Team, family & friends 🙏🏼

Remembering Jean Shine — A True Fort Hood Good Neighbor

Today, we mourn the loss of Jean Shine, a remarkable Central Texas leader whose life reflected service, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to Fort Hood Soldiers, military families, veterans, and the community.

Named a Fort Hood Good Neighbor in 2001, Jean became a trusted bridge between The Great Place and Central Texas. As a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, she was a steadfast advocate for Soldiers and their families.

Her service extended beyond Fort Hood. Through Wreaths for Vets and the Friends of the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery, Jean helped build an enduring tradition of honoring our fallen and bringing the community together in remembrance.

Jean embodied the very best of the Army and epitomized the spirit of why Fort Hood is the Great Place.

Our deepest condolences are with the Shine family and all who knew her.

Rest well, Jean. Your legacy lives on.

Your friends,

Lt. Gen. Kevin D. Admiral
Cmd. Sgt. Maj. James L. Light
