My mom and I always looked forward to time working Bingo refreshments with Jeanne. Our church community was blessed to have Jeanne, Connie, Kathy and Michael as part of our parish´s family. Helen Rosati said it perfectly. She was a wonderful person.
May Jeannie´s memory be eternal.
With sincere condolences,
Diane (Pappas) Sullivan

Jeannie was a lovely lady, gracious, giving, sweet, and kind. I knew her from St. Stephen´s where she was a quiet, loyal woman of faith where she was a friend to many. There is no question that she was the head of a very wonderful family whom she loved and nurtured.
+May her memory, as well as Connie´s and Kathy´s, be eternal. Please accept my most sincere condolences, Michael and family.
