Jean P. Colonna

Where do I start! We were roommates at Madison, when we were 18, and our deep friendship continued through these many years. We took our graduation trip to NYC with two others and what fun we had! (my $50.00 went a long way in those days.) I was in her wedding and remember being in her home that week to attend the parties and showers for her. Over these years, we have enjoyed trips together and especially to our many Madison reunions. Jean was someone who seemed to embrace others and...

What a wonderful person who loved her family to pieces! Sometimes we'd go shopping in Suffolk and we'd stop at 7-11 for a frozen drinks that she adored! She also had a magnificent broche collection and I borrowed her fall leaves once to go to a fall tea! What fun memories of such a lovely lady. I can not say enough about her and her sister. I'm blessed to have known them.

A wonderful lady indeed. I enjoyed being a member of The Forum with her. Also seeing Jean at Trinity. A life well lived.

The prettiest, cutest, wittiest, most fun friend. Our parents were friendsI was born in the apartments the Parkers owned. She, DeeDee, and their beautiful mother gave me a wedding shower. Love to all. Betty Jean
