Jean Ross Obituary
Jean was a proud New England sports fan, with a particular love for baseball and football. She was a vocal and rabid fan of the Red Sox and the Patriots. She also loved to travel and spend time with her family.
Jean graduated from Watertown High School in Watertown, MA and worked several years prior to getting married and raising her family. She was full time homemaker and was "Mom" to all the kids in the neighborhood. She was a care giver to her parents and her in laws during their later years and moved to Florida permanently after they passed. She enjoyed the past 16 years in her adopted state and was happy to have all three of her children in Florida with her.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held in Massachusetts at a date to be determined. If you wish to make a donation in her name, please consider St. Jude Hospital or a charity of your choice.
Rest in peace, Mom. You will be missed so much by your family and friends

Cathy & Family, my sincere condolences. Your Mom lived quite a life and I remember her as always being the bright face in the room - always with a funny story or energizing a party with her shouts at the TV as the Sox, Pats, Celtics or Bruins played. Lots of great memories. I hope those memories can bring you some comfort and hopefully even a few moments of levity over the coming days. I'll be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Such a great lady. She was so kind and a hell of a lot of fun! As a friend of Cathy´s growing up it was always Jean´s house that we hung out at. Whether it was Christmas Eve or unsupervised parties, we always had a ton of fun. Thanks jean for always putting up with our teenage shenanigans. You will be sorely missed for sure.
