Jean Abeel Obituary

Jean B. Abeel, age 87, passed away peacefully at home on August 19, 2023. Jean was born on April 30, 1936, in Ballston Spa, NY. She was the daughter of Edmund and Frances (Nowhitney) Snyder, Sr. Jean was a hard worker. She had many diverse and interesting jobs in her lifetime. She worked at General Electric in her early years. Jean also worked as an Administrative Assistant for Electric Boat at the Navy Nuclear training site in West Milton, NY. She was employed by the Ballston Spa School District where Jean worked in the High School office assisting school administrators. She also worked for Saratoga County as the Deputy Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. But Jean's most treasured position was as a loving Mother and friend to everyone who had the privilege to know her.

Jean and her husband, Don retired to Zephyrhills, Florida as snowbirds. They loved the Adirondacks and were avid campers. Don and Jean traveled to all 50 states together. Jean loved her flowers while Don loved his garden and the many dogs that shared their home over the years. Don and Jean found their greatest pleasure as dance partners, and they were incredible dancers. In recent years Jean enjoyed spending time at her son Jeff's camp on Fern Lake in Ausable Forks, NY.

Jean's survivors include her son Jeff Abeel, daughter Deborah Marek (William), grandson Noah Marek (Melissa File), brother Edmund Snyder, Jr. (Francine), and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Jean was a lifelong parishioner of St. Mary's Church in Ballston Spa, NY. She began her life journey with her baptism and will end her journey as she is laid to rest at St. Mary's Church.

A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 11 a.m. Friday, August 25 at St. Mary's Church, Milton Avenue, Ballston Spa. Burial will follow in East Line Union Cemetery, Malta. There will be no calling hours.

Memorial contributions in memory of Jean may be made to the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, 6010 County Farm Road, Ballston Spa, NY 12020.
