Jean Sauer Obituary

SAUER, JEAN DORIS Jean Doris Sauer, 81, of Orange passed away peacefully on March 31, 2011. Jean was predeceased by her husband Adolph and her daughter in law, Anne. Jean was born in Derby, CT and was the daughter of the late Minnie Bell and Charles McCarthy. She is survived by her daughters, Judy (Edward), Sharon (Glenn), Kathleen (Ethan) and her sons Alan, Eugene (Regina) and John and her sister Minnie, 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her brothers Jack and Eddie and sisters Gloria and Helen. Jean loved her family and never missed cooking a Sunday dinner and having a picnic whenever there was an occasion. You could always count on a Carvel ice cream cake for your birthday, no matter if you liked them or not! But most memorable, we all will agree, were her helupskies, a Christmas Eve favorite. Jean loved her family and if they were happy, she was happy. Contributions in Jean's memory may be made to the Orange Healthcare Center, Orange, CT where she received great care from a wonderful staff or Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Funeral and Burial are private. Arrangements are in care of the PORTO FUNERAL HOME, 830 Jones Hill Rd., West Haven. Sign Jean's guestbook online at www.portofuneralhomes.net
