Jean lived for many years on Cutler Road in Old Lyme, with her husband, Raymond, who died in 2019. They were married 70 years. Her great loves were her family, her Church and her Irish heritage. Until she moved to Carriage Green, an assisted living facility in Milford, she was an active parishioner at Christ the King Church in Old Lyme.

She was born February 9, 1926 in Hartford, to William O'Connor and Mary Coughlin O'Connor. She graduated from Hartford High and trained as a registered nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. She later worked as a nurse for the State of Connecticut. She is survived by her son James Gorman and daughter-in-law Kate Gorman of Nyack, NY; three grandchildren, Madeleine Gorman of Southampton, Massachusetts, Celia Gorman of New York City and Daniel Gorman of New York City; her niece Karen Lazauski of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and other nieces and nephews and cousins and grandnieces.
