Rest in Peace to Loretta Jean McCafferty. Her father was my Great Grandmother Beatrice Bridget McCafferty Brother.

I was grateful to be able to see her for one last time. We hoped to get together to view old family photos . Rest in peace Aunt Jean

I was Jean's mailman for 25 years. I always enjoyed my conversations with Ed and Jean. She was an easy going, kind woman. My condolences to the family on your loss.

Ed and Jeanne celebrated John and my wedding anniversaries together, as we married on the same day one year apart 40+ years ago. Jeanne had four siblings (Mary Ellen, Margie, Ann and Owen). She was especially close to her cousin Mary but is survived by cousins, nieces, nephews and generations more. She was a friend to many firemen and their wives and was well know in the West Park and Irish communities. She worked at Jones Day after high school to full age retirement. Jeanne loved Eddie...

To the McCafferty & Gartland Family's, I knew Jeanie from years ago and worked with Ed later. Please accept our condolences and sympathy. May they rest in peace! Brian P O'Donnell Sr. & Family

To my beloved Godmother,
I have known you all of my life. What a blessing! I am very grateful to have had you to watch over me and guide me. Even in the hospital, you asked about me, my relationship and my family. Caring more about me than yourself as you were leaving this world. I’m so glad to have had the chance to tell you I love you one last time. Till me meet again in heaven, love you always!

Love,
