Memory of former Support Group Leaders
5/28/2024: Jean Kropa was a long time volunteer and friend to the Brain Injury Association of Georgia (BIAG). After her son had a TBI, she saw the need for support and guidance for others going through the same journey. This led her to create the Mild Brain Injury Support Group which she helped lead from 1989-2020. There are many wonderful memories we had with her, her husband and son over the years. Jean introduced the idea of a brain injury wallet card, she created beautiful wreaths for silent auction items and more. Her life was a blessing and memories a treasure as her legacy will be the lives she touched, the inspiration she gave.
