Jon and Bev Southwick

I just learned of Jean's passing a little less than an hour ago and it saddens me greatly. Having known Tom since high school and as a roommate I had spent many hours in the Catanio household. Jean was like having another mother. I consider myself lucky for being a part of the Catanio's extended family of friends. She always gave the best of herself, and brought out the best in others. Jeannie, the boys and I send our thoughts and prayers.

Joe, I'm so very sorry for your loss and I'll remember your mother as always smiling, happy, and being nice to everyone. What I do recall most, though, was how proud and happy she was watching & hearing you sing that day in your garage at your house warming... especially, as you sang "Volare". God Bless Your Mother. I Know She's With The Lord.

I can't say how happy I am for her, that she will be where she's always wanted to be, but I will miss her and her beautiful smile. Aunty Jeannie I hope one day I will become half the woman you were.

Our deepest condolences go to the Catanio Family. Auntie Jeannie was a saint on earth. I grew to know her best as Auntie Laura’s room-mate. My fondest memory of her was when I ran into her and Auntie Laura at the Religious Bookstore on Pacific Ave. I found Auntie Jeannie in the aisle of paintings and religious art. She was crying while reading the quotations written on the paintings. When she saw me, she smiled shyly – almost embarrassed that I saw her so easily moved to tears. But I...

There is something to be said for the old saying "to know her is to love her," because that is exactly what I did, and always will do. The memory of her great capacity for love, laughter and her gift of comfort and a sense of "home," will forever remain alive in my heart and mind.
I for one, am so glad to have been part of her life.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Auntie Jeannie's family.

I'm sure her sisters welcomed her to the Yahtzee game in heaven.

We will miss you.

Good bye Aunt Jeannie. We are so grateful for the time we spent together, and for the immense patience you had for all.

We'll miss the "Convent Express" - when we drove you and your sisters Laura (my grandma) and Annie to the convent in SF.

Our condolences to the entire Catanio Family and the extended family.
