Jean Riordan Obituary

Riordan, Jean D.
Jean D. Riordan, age 81 of West Haven, passed way at her home surrounded by her family on Tuesday, January 9, 2018. Beloved wife of the late Robert Riordan. Jean was born in East Haven on May 1, 1936, to the late Herbert E. and Beatrice (Shanley) Jillson. Jean worked for Harlock Lock Co. in West Haven for over 20 years and retired from The Schick Co. in Milford where she worked for over 10 years. She was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and UNCONN Women's Basketball. Jean loved the casino, but her true love was her family and spending time with her grandchildren. She will be sadly missed. Jean is survived by her three children Robert (Cheryl) Riordan of Milford, Cathy (Guy) Fuggi of West Haven and Kevin Riordan of West Haven. She is also survived by five grandchildren Jenifer Fuggi, Michele (Easton) Holmes, Shawn Meinzer, Ryan Riordan and Katherine Riordan and a great-grandchild Emma Holmes. Jean was predeceased by her step-father Edward Moore and her daughter Brenda Riordan.

I am so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. Jean and I have been friends since kindergarten at Noble School.
The last time I saw Jean was at our Class Reunion. We had a great time laughing about getting old and bragging about our children and grandchildren. Rest In Peace my dear friend.
